resolution for sharper images, and very dense black areas, but they come

with a very hefty price tag. Starting at $20,000 and going up from there, these

systems are generally not a viable option for most garment decoration

businesses.

The combination of FastRIP

and an EPSON 4000, 4800, 7800, 9800 inkjet

printer allows you to produce near-imagesetter quality images without

requiring you to take out a second mortgage on your home. It is now possible

to get excellent registration, dense black and sharp edges using standard off-

the-shelf ink and clear film that is readily available in a variety of sizes.

 Use FastRIP

PRO and the Epson 4000, 4800 to produce prints up

to 17” wide!

 Use FastRIP

HD PRO HS and the Epson 4800 to produce prints

up to 17” wide!

 Use FastRIP

XL and the Epson 7800 to produce prints up to 24”

wide!

 Use FastRIP

LF and the Epson 9800 to produce prints up to 44”

wide!

 The Trade Off

There are trade offs to using an inkjet that are greatly minimized when you

compare the cost savings. An inkjet printer is not as fast as a laser, dry film

system or imagesetter. A color separation that might normally take five

minutes for each film to print, may take up to eight or nine minutes for the

inkjet. While this does not seem like a big issue, when outputting dozens of

films per day, this may be a bottleneck for some shops. Computer processor

speed and Ram have a huge impact on the computer “ripping” time.

If speed is an issue, invest in another EPSON, a second copy of FastRIP

and a computer workstation. The cost savings over a traditional imagesetter

will still be substantial.

Be aware that inkjet film needs to dry for a few minutes, so you may need to

find a system for hanging film (we used to do this when we had cameras).

Also, an inkjet may require a little more maintenance than traditional systems.

Regular head cleanings should be performed.

Printing from the Epson 4000, 4800, 7800 and 9800, you will have excellent

registration with roll or sheet media.
