Considering you want to print out of a Mac, I would suggest you try a demo of ImageNest. Although not as robust as Qimage, it has some technology to improve upon the Epson drivers. Be aware it still does use the Epson driver so it is not a true RIP program. I certainly found it printed better than from Aperture, clearly. Since I already have Parallels, I use Qimage. Since I have used it for over 10 years, I am used to it's interface. For the buck,it IS the most amazing software ever written in my humble opinion.

I tried a Beta version of ImageNest. It was full of bugs, but it was easy to use, and the output was very good, although not in the same league as ImagePrint. Hopefully the final version is bug-free. My guess is that its print quality is on a level with Qimage, since both use the Epson driver. If that is what you are looking for, download a trial version and compare it to your previous prints from Qimage.

there seems to be a mix of opinions on this query.  Some think a RIP will not provide a better print than photoshop, some suggest ImagePrint or ImageNest and there is a suggestion that Lightroom produces a better print than photoshop.  With regard to RIPs, the issue for me is not speed or multiple prints, just getting the best print possible.

One additional question- does anyone think Perfect Resize produces a better large print than resizing within photoshop?

thanks very much
