Turn your press into a digital printer! If you are a screen printer and you are thinking that you would like to print your separations using conventional half tone dots, this is possible using third party RIP software(see bottom of page), however you may be asking yourself, why don't ink jet printers use half tone dots in the first place? There is a better way to print images. The good news is that you can now screen print images in spot color or process color using a special FM square dot dither designed to produce far superior prints to those created in old fashioned half tones just the way ink jet printers do. Give the artists what they want! SPS 2000 will allow you to print images in spot color on t-shirts with continuous tones in FM - this means the equivilant of an 85 line screen on 220 tpi mesh.

POSTSCRIPT RIP SOFTWARE This is one area where you get what you pay for - cheap RIPs are slow and will rob you blind over time. Even if you don't have a Postscript capable ink jet printer you can get Postscript drivers from Epson.com or third party manufacturers such as www.Infowave.net who make Stylescript for the Mac or Zenographics who make a product for windows users called Superprint. There is even a free RIP called Ghostscript which has been around for a long time and runs on Mac or PC - don't expect miracles - it's free! THERE ARE ALSO RIPS AVAILABLE FROM BIRMY AND CADLINK and Wasatch see http://www.wasatchinc.com/ Stay away from "FastRIP" - the Cadlink product is identical at half the price, ( they buy this RIP from Cadlink for $150.00 and sell it for $595.00) they don't call it FASTRIP for nothing - the US screen institute will rob you in record time. These drivers range from $60 to $9550.00 and can turn several makes and models into postscript capable output devices. Some Rips work better on stand-alone PC workstations hooked up to the Epson 3000. We strongly recommend the Epson Stylus printers for their high resolution postscript 1440 dpi output ability. 99.
