Hi Neil, Thanks for pointing me in the direction I think I need to go which is the option of the PS Z hardware embedded rip

I ran into gamut problems (not having enough gamut) with 2500CP, and I really hope that's in the past with the Z3100. We will be printing photographs at least 50% of the time, and I like what I hear. We love B&W and the Quad Inks sound great. > There are CMYK rips already out there for the standard Z printers. EFI, GMG, > and ImagePrint all will do this.

Not really in need of CMYK, although it would be nice to have the option. Do you have any first hand experience with ImagePrint "saving the day?" > The cards are not a bottle neck, but the processing of the spool file is slow. I just printed a 36x43 job on the 2500CP and it took about an hour and 20 minutes to spool, but luckily I can continue working on my computer while it's busy receiving the job. Do the 3RD Party RIPS speed up that process at all? Is it dependent on the printer only or does the computer have anything to do with that slowdown. Thanks much for the information.
