Chris,

This sounds a little confused. I can't imaging anyone wanting to print their
portfolio from photoshop through a rip. There would be no advantage to doing
this as photoshop is a pixel based application and a rip is specifically
designed for dealing with vector / text information.

A rip is primarily designed to interpret this vector / text info and deal
with aspects of cmyk colour separation on the way to offset litho. Often
rips will deal with aspects of colour fidelity at the expense of print
quality. Designers tend to be more interested in looking at how the artwork
is going to look on press rather than achieving that 'photo-quality' look
that photographers want.

If you really want to achieve good looking portfolio prints, you will need
photoshop, a good profiled monitor and a custom profile for each printer.
Only then will you be in the ball park to predictably control and view your
images.

There is a London based bespoke profiling service which I can recommend;
take a look at...
