I am looking for a good PS Color RIP (MAC) to use with our HP 1220C printer. Most of
our work is printed from QuarkXpress with Compass XT for applying profiles. Up to
this point I have used Adobe Press Ready and am not very happy with it for three main
reasons: 1) All the workarounds needed to get around the "hardwired" profiles and 2)
It will not overprint black (text out of Quark). 3) And as someone on this list
mentioned the crossrenderings are on the "flattering" side and not good
representations of press output.
There has been much discussion on list lately about black generation in Best Color
DE. Is there a consensis that this a a good RIP for color management? 1) Will it let
me actually select my own profiles which I have generated in the prefereneces or does
it have it's own "Hard Wired" profiles that have to be worked around? 2) For anyone
using Best Color DE with QuarkXpress and Compass XT: Does it overprint black?
Where besides "Best Color's" web page (There is not much there) can I get info on
this RIP?
I'm open to other suggestions.
Thanks,
Joe Goossen
