Shadow seperation should can be near perfect, but be carefull of wishing for more saturation. Pigmented inksets have a nasty property when run at full gamut, so they really need to be limited somewhat. > Speaking with Unisource locally, they are confident > that the addition of a RIP, specifically the Onyx RipCentre > would help tremendously and manage the amount of ink hitting > the paper infinitely better than the native Epson driver. It can be more accurate. If you want a second opinion about the ONYX, you may want to describe to the Colorsync listserver and have a look at the archives. ONYS RIP's are one of the most spoken about (because users have problems setting them up). > > I am hoping to setup a local demonstration in my studio with > Onyx in the near future. Any thoughts on RIPs in general > with the 7600/9600 series? ProofMaster (www.proofmaster.net) is a really neat solution with a nice and easy interface once it has been set up. Most RIP's need settion up though with the paper you want to use. > For colour calibration, I am using ColorVision Spyder for > monitor calibration, and ProfilerPro / DoctorPro with the > Colorsavvy CM2C Spectrocolorimeter for paper / ink > profiling. If you want to do your own setting up make sure that your spectro are supported by the linearization software.
