Re: RIP for LF Printers I have used both - both are fine RIPs and will do a good job for you. The real difference is not in feature comparison, but the wider issues. Onyx is the market leader by a long way, has a huge installed base with a long history in production RIPs. They have a large...

Re: HP Z6100 and Onyx RIP - printing SLOW! Hi Jon You need to be in "Advanced" Ink Restrictions to use Lch to decide on the ink restrictions - hit the Measure Tool and view the graph. Unfortunately you can only use a spot-reader to read the patches in - something like an eye 1 device. Yours...

Re: HP Z6100 and Onyx RIP - printing SLOW! Hi Are you running a true gigabit network - cables, cards & switch? You need to be with this printer. Also the 2 way communication can cause issue like this on some PCs - Dells have been known - not sure why I'm afraid. In Config printer you can...
