Clarification is in order
I'm sure most of you who read this digest know who we are. Praxisoft has
been a leading color management solutions provider and software manufacturer
since 1994. Our core competency is color management workflow. We have our
own engineers developing ICC workflow software. We also provide on-site
consultantancy, training, and installation services to the end-user.
Praxisoft routinely licenses or resells third-party software and hardware
that complement its workflow solutions and collectively provide a complete
color management solution for our customers. Many of these third-party
software and hardware solutions come from other color management
manufacturers talked about on this list.
One former partner, ColorByte Software, recently posted that Praxisoft's
Mach 1 RIP is the ColorByte RIP with Praxisoft logos. This was true until we
severed the relationship in March 2001. The Mach 1 RIP was to ship October
2000 evidenced by its press release. For this, Praxisoft would like to
extend its sincerest apologies to those who experienced the numerous delays
of the final release. Due to the excessive development delays, Praxisoft
decided to terminate the partnership.
While hoping for the best, we prepared for the worst by evaluating other,
more mature RIPs. We identified PosterPrint by ErgoSoft as the solution that
best met our technical specifications. We have licensed this RIP and are
embedding our color management workflow capabilities; VectorPro PMS and ICC
AutoFlow color-server technologies. Mach 1 is now shipping and supports all
of the major wide format printing devices on the market today including
Roland V8, HP 5000, Epson 9500, and the Encad NovaJet 850.
The current version of Mach 1 RIP is fully ICC-compatible. A forth-coming
version of Mach 1, complete with our ICC AutoFlow and VectorPro technologies
will be available in the coming weeks. In the interim, Mach 1 will ship
bundled with ICC AutoFlow.
In order to establish some reference sites as well as beta-testers for the
color management updates, Praxisoft is offering the first 50 copies of the
Mach 1 RIP at $1000 off (small format $300 off). List Price $3495.00
(large-format RIP) and $1795 (small-format RIP).
If you are interested in purchasing the Mach 1 RIP or becoming a dealer,
please contact Bobby Kimiayi at 703-450-8001 or 800-557-7294 to qualify or
