Hi… Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but why not? Anyway, I'm sure everyone gets the same three tons of junk mail every week that we do (don't you?), from 85 different mailorder houses. One flyer that I've received a couple of times and I'm curious about is RenderPrint. This product claims to "improve" your color printing in both quality and speed of execution. It sells for around $150 or so and I was wondering if anyone here had tried it or had seen a positive/negative review in any of the magazines. Thanks for the comments. \\\. ========================= >-==<MIKE(>=– >-==*- /

Mike, I have a copy collecting dust(my printer died). I used it a few times and wasn't impressed. I was using a HP 1200C/PS ink spitter. I think they offer 30 or 60 day money back if not satisfied. I'll have to get my printer fixed and try it again to give a firm yes or no. Scott

Scott… I saw a demonstration of the Epson 720 dpi color unit today, printing on two different papers, first the Epson $20/ream stuff, and then the Epson $ .20 sheet coated paper. The image was a ray-traced scene from MS's Bonus package (the library) and for a "ink spitter" I was very, very impressed with the Epson printer and drivers. My Canon 820BJC has a measely 360dpi capability, but my black jet is clogged and I'm trying to figure out how to clean it beyond the built-in "purge" function which tries to flush the jet. If I can't fix the head inexpensively, I may just start looking at all the new printers including Canon's 720 dpi plain paper bubble-spitter <G>. Cheez, and I thought Render-Print was some kinda'miraculous program that made everyonevery happy! \\\. ========================= >-==<MIKE(>=– >-==*- /

Mike, I use RenderPrint going out to a HP DesignJet 650C and I really don't care for it. Mark

I have used RenderPrint extensively on the Novajet III with very little success. I get better images if I print direct from Windows with the plain driver encad ships with the Novajet. I think RenderPrint was directed towards people using only DOS (hence, lack of windows support) and a software package capable of producing color output.
