Jeff S Posted June 30, 2018 Share #81 Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) I'm trying imageprint and get a strange errors on "missing usb donkeys". Probably it's about software protection. How it (license management and software protection) of the both versions of Imageprint is arranged? Is is possible to avoid need for special hardware? Follow this procedure for a trial version (for OSX)... https://www.colorbytesoftware.com/BLACK/IMAGEPRINT_BLACK_Macinstosh_Trial_Version.pdf The dongle is simply a hardware device that looks like an inch long USB drive and plugs into a USB port on your computer for security and licensing. You won’t need it unless you’re activating a paid version. Until then, the trial version will produce a DEMO watermark across your prints. Call or email Colorbyte customer support for any questions or assistance.... https://www.colorbytesoftware.com/#contact Jeff Edited June 30, 2018 by Jeff S 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

otto.f Posted November 11, 2018 Share #82 Posted November 11, 2018 I took the plunge after several recent proofs that printing via EPSON print layout or PS or C1 or LR results in the double use of ICC-Profiles which systematically produces too dark prints. This is exactly what the IP developers stated and the trial version took me over the edge with very clean and clear prints from my Epson 3800. Especially in printing highkey-ish captures lies the surplus-value of this software. IP is expensive indeed and especially if you import to Europe on top of that. But printing is a whistle now, I indeed do not longer need test prints anymore in 90% of the cases, unless I discover from the print that I want some spot on the image a little different. The former (partly unconscious) barrier to print my images and get stuck into that cumbersome process has completely disappeared. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only wish someone on here had guided me to IP earlier, it sure would have saved me a bunch of time and money........now loving Neil Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exodies Posted November 11, 2018 Share #85 Posted November 11, 2018 There is but it’s very complicated. Double profiling occurs when you activate the "ICM" or "ICC" option in the print driver and you also specify a printer ICC profile in the software you are using to print your photos. The bottom line is that if you use a printer ICC profile, you need to select color management in one place only: the print driver or the printing software, not both.

My friend uses a Canon A3 printer and does not have these issues, so perhaps it’s Epson that can’t keep its hands off if you select ‘No Colormanagement by printer’ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 11, 2018 Share #89 Posted November 11, 2018 A point that does not get a mention is the terrific after sales service from colorbyte. I used IP 10 for about 2 years before i upgraded to Black. For about 48 hours I had alsorts of issues which where equally frustrating to both sides. After arrangeing a call to my home which had been proposed by colorbyte,i had yet another last try and bingo perfect.I sent an email to colorbyte and recieved a email about 1 min after they came into work , both sides happy. Great company to deal with and after using for almost 3 years a happy user. Highly reccomended product and supplier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does it mean that anyone with an Epson printer cannot print properly without IP? (because is can't keep its hands off...) Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IP for lots of reasons gives me consistant results. Many people will not agree and just use the epson driver and get great results. There is no right or wrong.Just personal preferance.

I meant the second but that is just a theory: IP pretends and seems to be able to bypass all other firm- and software and install the appropriate icc-profiles Edited November 12, 2018 by otto.f 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
