ProofInk can be found at email@hidden, or www.storm.de
ICC AutoFlow is redundant with a good proofing RIP that does effective cross
profile proofing, except that its spot color might still be an improvement
with some packages. Basicly ICC AutoFlow adds to a low cost RIP the kind of
features a good one already has. And if you are paying by the machine for a
low cost RIP like PressReady, plus AutoFlow to manage it, then it doesn't
take too many seats before it is more effective to use a good color managed
RIP instead, since it can reside on the server, and not require numerous
copies.
