Hello William

 

I recently purchased IP for my 3880. I did this after Mac OS X broke the ability to choose custom B&W profiles (Eric Chan's profiles at http://people.csail.mit.edu/ericchan/dp/Epson3880/abwprofiles.html) from within the print module of the OS. It became too onerous to have to go to PS to assign a profile manually for each print. Honestly, the interface is rather clunky but I'm getting used to it. What bothers me more than anything is the dongle to tell you the truth; there must be better, less intrusive ways to prevent piracy!

 

Since I live in San Francisco too, let me know the details of your workshop when you have time. I might be interested.

 

Thanks.

Sorry, absolutely wrong.

 

I will soon be teaching comparison classes of LR to IP printing in my new Workshop Studio. LR IS Light Years Ahead especially in the B&W Print area.

 

Sorry, if you haven't figured out that there is a little clockwise and counter-clock wise arrow to the Left in the module to flip the image, then you don't know the basics of the program.

BTW, there is a centering tool (one click, that centers the image on the canvas dead-on every time. Try doing that on a Mac.

 

If you are having problems deleting jobs from the spooler, there is a section in the Manual. But why would you have to. if you put in "I want 1 print of this at this size" it prints it perfectly 99.9% of the time and the job is gone. You need to sit down one evening with the manual.

Thanks Erik I will. I'm just working out a course format now.

 

The dongle doesn't bother me anymore (I have two) and just keep them plugged in. Did you know that it doesn't need to be connected directly to your computer? I've got mine plugged into large USB Hubs and have forgotten all about them.
