First comes NT and then Mac. I am pretty sure they will be (are?) developing
a Mac version for release next year. I have been working with the RIP for a
little while now. I will be posting a very detailed spread sheet detailing
RIPs for professional inkjet printers next month after the holidays. GATF
will post it as well since the test were derived from the presentation I did
earlier this month at their conference.
If you want a Mac RIP available in the coming weeks look towards
BestColor Designer Edition for desktop inkjet printers. I have had great
success with the RIP and it is easier use than the NT (pro) version.
