Err... WiziWYG offers no controls over the ink limits and seperation features
that a RIP gives you control of. So suggesting getting the added potential of
a RIP, then suggesting profiling that RIP with a tool that can't access those
features is non-sensical. The only affordable profiling package that offers
the needed features is ColorVision's ProfilerCMYK... and if that doens't
offer the desired level of accuracy, then before spending thousands on the
alternatives, upgrading to the spectrophotometer based version (ProfilerPro)
would be a logical interum step.
