TBruno, Please call 800 825-4115 and have them send you some information about our RenderPrint software. It does allow for tiling on any printer. Russ Insight Development P.S. Remind them about your CIS discount.
Albert, A fair question. The Epson comes with a Windows driver that is a nice driver. We all know about Windows printing so our target for you as a customer should be to print AT LEAST as fast as a Windows driver. Well, we don't yet! …(g)… Our driver is…
Albert, The current version does an OK job, but we are workin' on it! …(g)… We have many dither patterns and depending on the image some of these do a real nice job of allowing images to be blown up reasonably well. I know what you mean about the memory…
Albert, Is pretty low res for full page rendering. Most of the images we print at tradeshows and for samples around here start life as at least 2000 x 2000 TGA files. That's the bad news, the good news is you don't have ta' add any extra memory to your…
Don, You can also call 800 825-4115 and ask about our RenderPrint software. Remind them about your CIS discount. Russ Insght Development
To whom it may concern, Great explaination! You certainly know your stuff! Amen! Russ Insight Development

Jack, Please! Russ Insight Development
John, NO NO that's friendly manual! …(g)… Russ Insight Development Is this really how thread drift starts? …(g)…
Roger,
Don, The simple answer is no. The gamma 'should' be, as stated by others in the 1.8 to 2.0 range for hardcopy. However, this is NOT the case with ALL hardcopy devices. Some dye-sub printers with high resolution are similar to monitors in regards to gamma settings. The other areas…
Within AutoCAD there are methods that help the situation. RHEXPORT.EXP as covered in your 'AutoCAD Interface, Installation, and Performance Guide (pages 118-119). RHEXPORT allows you the user to 'set' the output resolution for a 'file'. For later use you can always 'replay' the image to your screen for viewing. You…
Don, You are quite welcome, and BTW, that's why we all hang out here too! …(g)… Russ Insight Development
Terry, Thanks for the info. The 'stretching' seems to do some funny stuff. The threshold adjustment seems to have the most total effect while the shift is almost totally image dependant. Interesting. Our company writes printer drivers so we are 'somewhat' familiar with most issues regarding color ranges. However your…
Terry, I haven't tried that yet. Do you have feel for what it is actually doing? Sounds like it may be taking the 256 color limit of 3DS and 'spreading' the range. Sounds like an interesting idea.
Bob, Will do. Email me your company vitals such as mailing and shipping addr's and types of apps and equipment available. Make sure you include the Fiery/Canon on the list. Not listed directly except we already support the HP DJ650c's and the Encad Novajet III is using the DJ650c RTL,…
Bob, 1. No, we have the specs but have not coded or tested this mode yet. 2. Is in beta test as we speak and 'should' ship in November. 3. You bet! In fact the Windoze version is scriptable so you can make up your 'batch' file external to RPW…

Joe, Please call 1-800-825-4115 and ask about our RenderPrint software. Great support for the DJ650's. Supports GIF, TGA, PCX, BMP, JPG, and TIF file formats. Also supports over 1400 other printers as well. Runs as a stnadalone, a TSR (pop-up), or as an Autodesk ADI 4.2 direct driver. Does NOT…
Gary, You can output to any of the large format raster plotters and have the final print 'laminated' for mounting in the booth. The HP DesignJet's or Encad NovaJets work very well for this purpose. We have software for this purpose called RenderPrint. For poster size printing we recommend a…
Craig, Is the DesignJet and the is the DeskJet. I was just testin' ya' …(g)… The DesignJet is HP's large format raster plotter. Russ Insight Development P.S. You know why the bury lawyers 8 feet deep? Cause' deep down they're not to bad! …(g)…
Craig, Try Christine at Graphics Inc at 1-510-551-5157, 1-510-551-5159 fax. She has a brochure that shows glossy paper and shiny ink for the DJ650c. Regular DJ650 and DJ1200c inks have a matte finish when printed on glossy paper. Russ Insight Development P.S. You know why sharks don't eat lawyers? Professional…
Craig, At one of the trade shows I talked to one of their sales reps and he said 'THEY' supply HP, but then who trusts sales reps! …(g)… Russ Insight Development
Paul, I've been told he is the next door neighbor of Rig R. Mortice …(g)… Ain't CI$ Fun! Russ Insight Development
Craig, Try Rexham Graphics at 1-800-831-9551 they may be able to help. Russ Insight Development
Paul, Congrats… BTW, did you know one of the benefits of altziemers is you get to hide your own Easter Eggs . . . .(g) . . . . Russ Insight Development
#a color printer
Message #114407
Thomas, The process you are describing is called tiling. The tiling feature is for printers that can't print an 'E' size piece of paper, so we print out lotsa' little 'A' size pieces to paste into the final 'E' size. On the DesignJet we do the opposite of tiling. Since…
J.R. Well that sure limits your choices, but there is the Canon BJ800, the HP PaintJet XL300, the Lexmark 4079, and others. When you get ready to print, we make a software package that supports all of these printers (and 1200 more) directly from inside 3DS. It's called RenderPrint. Call…
Come up with a Guwie Interface Kit (GIT) and Apple will buy it! …(g)… Russ

You can also use our product called RenderPrint. Includes a direct RHADI driver coupling to over 1200 plus printers. Is totally optimized for printing. Most products are optimized for viewing and do not have complete controls for controlling the printed image. Please call 1-800-825-4115 and have them send / fax…
Richard, 1. Contrast will darken the darks but also lightens the lights. Gamma will have similar effect. If the image is fairly dark to begin with and when you print it out it is faded looking try setting the contrast at 55 to 60% and the gamma at 1.75 (default)…
David, I have received several messages regarding the Fargo as NOT being a PostScript printer. I can see now why we have generated this much interest. As I have stated before we are just waiting for the printer to arrive from Fargo so we can generate a driver for our…
Kevin, We certainly hope so…(g)… I have received several messages regarding the Fargo as NOT being a PostScript printer. I can see now why we have generated this much interest. As I have stated before we are just waiting for the printer to arrive from Fargo so we can generate…
Richard, We'll look forward to the call. Russ Insight Development
David, We think so. We believe that the Fargo takes PostScript if it does then yes we support it. We have been in touch with the Fargo folks so we can get one in for testing. We really want to support it in native mode as that would be much…
Richard, Yep, and it does two ways. The first way is of course in the PS format which is PostScript which is slow and doesn't print as well. The second and preferred way is to print using PCL which is much faster and gives RenderPrint control of the printer to…
John, You should end up with all the controls you would expect from a Windoze graphics program but from DOS RenderPrint. You can resize, adjust brightness, contrast, gamma, number of copies, tiling, batch print, etc., all from a menu driven DOS program. The image quality is directly proportional to the…
John, Yeah, the render to disk is what we reccommend because of the time it takes to do the render. It also allows you to 'test print' before you waste alot of paper, ink, time, etc,. Render to disk is already supported via the ACAD export functions. We have a…
I'll put my two cents worth in here to! …(g)… You would also have to make seperate test print if you used non standard paper. If you use the high quality dye sub paper that most manufacturers reccommend should NOT have to this. If however, you need to do an…
Robert, As I just said to the Yost Group, please call 1-800-825-4115 and have them send you a spec sheet on RenderPrint and our other CAD related printing software. They can give you pricing and availability info. I'm involved in engineering and testing so the 'salesy' stuff is best done…
Yost Group, Thanks for your inquiry, please call 1-800-825-4115 and have them send you a spec sheet on RenderPrint and our other CAD related printing software. They can give you pricing and availability info. Russ Insight Development
John, Thanks for the response to our new product. RenderPrint has been very well received by the press, the printer manufacturers and most importantly the end users like yourself. In Windoze we currently run in a DOS box. The Windoze version will be out later this summer. Our drivers are…
