The same purpose that any 3rd party products offer. Features the Epson
RIP does not.
You're asking basic general questions without giving any information
about what you want to accomplish with this technology. People tend to
be far more receptive when they know what you're trying to accomplish.

Thank you. I was hoping to find a printer that can print as good as an
imagesetter, maybe close, yet I so far I found none that are close. I need
2400 dpi, many inkjets advertise high-dpi, yet the real numbers are lower.

The quality that comes from an imagesetter is partly because of the
technology (a fairly straightforward laser which turns on and off) but
mainly because it is used with photographic film rather than paper.
You will not be able to achieve your results as long as you print on
regular paper.

We once had a customer that used a 600DPI A3 laser printer
(back in the days when that was a big deal) and a
process camera set at 50% scale to make
1200 DPI A5 printing plates...

There aren't any printers that print a 2400 dpi dot as good as an
imagesetter.
You really need to find out if you need that quality to get the results
you want and confirm that you need a full 24" width for output.
With the 1280, I had clogging problems. I live in Southern AZ which is
typically very dry most of the year. (we are now in our "monsoon" season so
the humidity is up.)
Anyway, I used to wrap my 1280 in an open plastic garbage bag. When it was
not going to be used for quite sometime, I would put a damp sponge on a
saucer or even a juice glass full of cool water on top of the printer and
then close up the trash bag. This "micro-environment" did a very good job of
keeping the 1280 from clogging. The R1800 is not a sensitive and I don't use
the sponge.

Why a Third Party RIP?
