Hi Folks,
I'm sure this has been hashed over many times, but I just
resubscribed to the list, so here goes.
I have a client that has just two Macs in the publications dept. The
rest of the company is PC, but that is beside the point.* They have
access to a Xerox DocuColor w/ Fiery RIP and a Tektronix 780 color
laser. They want to be able to get decent color from those printers,
but they also need to soft proof before they send their files to
commercial printers.
I thought to propose that they buy an Epson 1200 or 1270,
ColorVision's RGB Suite I to profile the three printers and their
monitors. Plus perhaps Aurelon's DeskCheck for a RIP and ethernet. Is
there a better answer? They have a budget that would cover that. A
5000 with a Fiery is way over budget and probably more than they
need. There color work isn't critical fashion or product, they'd just
like to get close to what they see on screen instead of the muddy
stuff that is coming out of the lasers now.
TIA
Bill
* well, come to think of it, not really. When the PC-users in the
dept. heard of a color printer coming in, they want to share it. Is
that possible? They are on a separate Novell network that the IT
dept. refuses to open up to the Macs.
