Hi there,
going to to buy a used Epson f6000 to do transfer printing onto stretch poly spandex. I have an iMac OS X El Capitan.
The seller doesn't have the RIP software.
Two questions:
1- can I buy used RIP software? Any ideas where I could buy and what I would need? I need it to be cheap cheap.
1- am I better to get a used Epson f6000 or a converted older Epson model? If so what model? I can use 24 or 44" but I thought 44" would speed up performance and use less paper.
thanks
claire

Hello Claire I think weve discussed this recently

. Used rips are hard to come by ill keep my eyes open though. You will find many one here use converted machines .

thanks ken. I'm actually supposed to be collecting the Epson f6000 tomorrow but my oil tank pin has stopped the oil getting to my house and so I have no heating. My partner will have to probably dig up the garden Tomo and therefore I wouldn't be able to go to Newcastle (I'll need to look after the Wee one.)
My lifes all over the place at the minute. I just wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing. I was going to use a demo of Shiraz carbon tomorrow to trial the printer.
thanks
claire

Hope its a good price for you. Shiraz doesnt have a lot of control or colour management. Good luck either way.

thanks ken, all I know is shiraz carbon cheap at £600 and it'll allow me to print. Right now colour control is not something I know about. Cheap cost is my priority
