InkRIP — questions only Eric can answer

InkRIP-only. Do not put serials or passwords into this tree.

1. ~~Activation on Monitor-PC:~~ Answered 2026-09-05 — activated.
2. Admin drivers: Can you run C:\Users\eric\Downloads\InkRIP\inkrip_install_drivers_admin.ps1 elevated so virtual printer / USB drivers finish? (Can wait; do not auto-run.)
3. ~~Which physical printer should Monitor-PC’s InkRIP talk to first~~ Skipped for now (2026-09-05) — Eric deferred hardware; continue software-only learning. Re-open when ready: model / SKU / USB vs network and which InkRIP printer driver name to select.
4. ~~ICC depth / spectrophotometer:~~ Skipped with hardware (2026-09-05) — stay on factory/default profiles until Eric says otherwise. Re-open when ready for full ink-limit → linearisation → ICC.
5. ~~Control software next to InkRIP:~~ Skipped with hardware (2026-09-05). Re-open when a printer is chosen so Job Manager connection training matches reality.
6. Hotfolder (software/config): Do you want hotfolder enabled for training, and which watch folder + .prn output folder on Monitor-PC? (Useful without naming a machine — paths only.)
7. Output convention: Preferred ripped output type/location (e.g. .prn folder) for practice jobs?
8. Version pin: Stay on 7.2.14.0.4 as installed, or move to a newer cncu “latest version” build?
9. Practice file locations: Where should practice canvases / sample RIPs live on Monitor-PC (and which folders are off-limits)?
