I would recommend Colorproof from GMG. To linearize the RIP you can use
your DTP41 as the RIP prints out its own patches for calibration and
connects directly to the spectrophotometer. It also supports TIFF-IT,
Scitex CT/LW, Postscript, as well as other formats. It also does nesting.
The same RIP can also drive an IRIS, if you have one, as I see you have a
number of Scitex devices. If you use it to drive two printers, you can set
the software to linearize until yo achieve 1 delta difference between the
two. ICC compatibility is very good, treating linework and CTs differently,
and you can also set different profile parameters to different elements in
the same print - eg. one image have a profile setting and the image next to
it have another. One of its features that I have not seen elsewhere (not to
say that it is the only one) is that it has a database of spot colors. You
can enter spot colors manually or via the spectrophotometer and create
linearization curves for each color. Then, if you use the same name of the
color in your layout application, it will be substituted in the RIP. There
are other features but you can take a look at www.colorproof.de. One thing
I do have to add is that it is a bit expensive - but it works.
