Straight Edge Life

Ok, so I have a beef with the fact that photographers need this software. I figure if we’re going to pay $700 for a baseline fine art photo printer we shouldn’t have to spend an additional $500 for a piece of software to make it print neutral black and white prints. But that’s how it is, and colorbyte software’s ImagePrint Rip does the trick and does it well. True, probably 9 out of 10 people who view your images will never notice that they have a green cast to them. But I would bet that if you notice it already, or if you compare an imageprint print and a straight epson print you’ll be blown away by how well ImagePrint neutralizes your prints. ImagePrint kicks out a clean neutral image. Even when printing color images it has a significant advantage in that it cleans out that icky yellow filling all your midtones. If you print black and white seriously you need this software. If you print color images seriously you can probably get away without it.

7 out of 10 only because the price is too high.
