Just to refresh your memory, the OP asked for the best printing software, and he did not specify a price range. is completely rediculous and could be compared to "Inverse Robbery"
When you think about it, $895 for the "best" print quality may not be such a bad deal. In my view, using IP on a Mac makes much more sense than running a virtual Windows program and having to buy the Windows OS on top of that, just to be able to use Qimage (which still locks you into the Epson driver). The only drawback is the price, which may or may not be an issue for you. Also, you can soft proof grayscale images, which is not possible with Epson's ABW driver. It uses a superior proprietary printer driver and comes with outstanding profiles for just about any paper that you can think of, and that includes both color and grayscale profiles. If you really want the best printing software, then ImagePrint is the one. Now whether IP's superiority is worth its price is up to the individual user. I have printed extensively from Photoshop both in color and ABW, but my experience with ImagePrint leaves no doubt in my mind that it is superior. One additional question- does anyone think Perfect Resize produces a better large print than resizing within photoshop? With regard to RIPs, the issue for me is not speed or multiple prints, just getting the best print possible. Some think a RIP will not provide a better print than photoshop, some suggest ImagePrint or ImageNest and there is a suggestion that Lightroom produces a better print than photoshop. There seems to be a mix of opinions on this query. If that is what you are looking for, download a trial version and compare it to your previous prints from Qimage. My guess is that its print quality is on a level with Qimage, since both use the Epson driver.

It was full of bugs, but it was easy to use, and the output was very good, although not in the same league as ImagePrint.

For the buck,it IS the most amazing software ever written in my humble opinion. Since I have used it for over 10 years, I am used to it's interface. Since I already have Parallels, I use Qimage. I certainly found it printed better than from Aperture, clearly. Be aware it still does use the Epson driver so it is not a true RIP program. Although not as robust as Qimage, it has some technology to improve upon the Epson drivers.
Considering you want to print out of a Mac, I would suggest you try a demo of ImageNest.
