First off I would like to thank everyone for all the input you have given in the thread.

This has really given me some good ideas as to how to approach my printing problems.

 

Believe me I know about printers because I work for Canon and I use quite a few of the large format printers at work.

 

I must tell you that I myself have 3 Pentium D 3.2 GHz duel core systems and 3 Pentium 4 HT 3.2 GHz systems running with every computer having at least 2 to 4 Gig’s of RAM. All are using ATI PIC Express cards with 256 Megs of RAM. Over all I have around 4 Terabytes of harddrive space. All my systems have 8 Gigs DVD Burners for off storage.

 

So I don’t think it’s my systems that need to be upgraded.

 

Bryce Lighting is in a word is (A bust!) My pictures are quite complex and on the best of days I’m looking at around 15 to 24 hrs render time.

 

When I increase the Rays per pixels this can bring the render time up to over a week or more.

 

I cannot afford to have every system chugging along on 1 picture.

 

I will take all your suggestion into consideration, I just hope that DAZ will include the save function in the next release or so.

Cheers,

David
