I color manage several Xerox Docucolor 12s using the Splash Server RIP, and
just wanted to share a bit of my recent experience in the hopes it might be
helpful to anyone:
If you're running Splash Server 2.0 (service pack anything!) the
calibrations do not hold. It will start to take 3-5 passes to get the
curves to match. Any profiles created with CopyCal also go bugaboo (meaning
give unexpected, unpredictable results) especially if you apply a curve
(actually I believe the application of a curve to a CopyCal profile is
listed by Splash as the bug here, but it causes a crazy cascading series of
issues). In short, you are going to have hell on your hands unless you
upgrade to 2.5. My upgrade was free from Xerox.
Trying to help anyone avoid the pain I went through!
