I realize that this list is not intended to toot our own horns but we have a software RIP for the EPSON 3000 which allows for 4 color proofing and composite proofing. It runs on an NT server.

We have had no problems from any of our clients.

If anyone would like more info. please feel free to email me.

Thanx for listening and I hope I wasn't abusing the list.
