Professional software
development since 1985
Over 100,000 users
worldwide. From the dawn of Desktop Publishing to present day. Code and
design that has helped shape the pre-press, proofing and direct-to-garment
industries.
As head programmer for
Birmy Graphics (later became iProof Systems, Inc.) I have designed and
written PostScript RIP implementations and printer utilities for over 25
years. Driving all kinds of output devices. From laser imagesetters that
sell for hudreds of thousands to ninety dollar inkjets and everything in
between. All with unparalleled conectivity and ease of use. Many of the
innovations I designed into those products have become "household
words" in the RIP business. In 1998 I founded C-Horse Software, Inc.
Under the C-Horse name I continued to write RIP implementations as well as
other utilities. I also developed several hardware and firmware products.
For the last few years I
have been working closely with Belquette, Inc. on the development of the
Edge pretreater and the Genesis printer. I wrote all the firmware and
software for the Edge pretreater as well as all the firmware, software and
FPGA circuitry for the Genesis printer.
After parting ways with
iProof Systems, I wrote a new direct-to-garment RIP from the ground up for
sale under the C-Horse Software label. This RIP (C-Breeze) incorporates
almost 30 years of RIP development experience and over 10 years of
direct-to-garment RIP development. C-Horse Software, Inc. is an Epson ISV
as well as Global Graphics OEM which means access to all technical info
directly from Epson and the rights to develop using the JAWS interpreter,
one of the most powerful PostScript engines on the market.
