BTW, I've tried from PhotoShop 6, QuarkXPress 4.1 and FreeHand 10.
Two ways very different can used successfully with the 3000.
Easy , quick and supplied with the printer is the Quickdraw driver or GDI
Windows.
You'll have to make a profile for this printer if it is far from the
average. Print out to the printer converting from space to your rgb profile.
There will be some differences but visually close in respect to uncalibrated
workflow.
Two is to use a true 4 color rip such as Best Designer Edition for Mac. This
way you stay in 4 color and Postscript vector rendering. The canned profiles
provide excellent matching out of the box. I dare say the match is very
close that you really have to work hard to improve them. IF you want to
print on PC or Network printing then Colorproof would offer the bells and
whistles that the prepress houses/design bureaus may require. Color accuracy
is consistent regardless of platform.
Hope this helps.
