You deffinately want to get yourself a Best Color RIP, in spite of your
previous
RIP-troubles.
I have succesfully set up an Epson 7500 for a photographer, who is using
both a drumscanner and a digital camera (Phase One), sending RGB tiffs
directly to his BestColor RIP.
We use the input profile from the scanner as well as from the digitalcamera
as reference profiles in Best, this results in Great matching on screen
(obviously a screen both calibrated and ICC-profiled),
and even more importaint, as much of the original image-data and quality,
as possible - is retained.
A screen-profile should (to my knowlegde) not be used for anything but
matching.
You use it to get the best out of your monitor, as it is right now!
Not to convert pictures.
