Good Day, I have been using my 130 for over 2 years. Not a single problem running without a RIP. I print (using a Mac G4 OS 10.3.9) from Photoshop, Acrobat and Illustrator CS.

Until recently I used to do A2 sized prints from an Epson Stylus Colour 3000 on a Mac G4 running OS9. The subject matter was was mainly photographs which were placed in PageMaker (which had an A2 page print option). I did not use a software RIP as there was apparently no need. Have I been missing something??! Anyway, now I use a new Macbook Pro, and since the Epson has finally stopped working, I was thinking of buying an HP DesignJet 130 to print from Photoshop in glorious A1 size. Can I get away without a software RIP? What are the benefits? Will I be able to print directly to the HP 130 from within Photoshop? Will the HP 130 print driver help when it comes to selecting the size of the final output job? Which RIP is best if I need one? Thanks!
