CDTobie responded to my earlier post re. use of a 3000 or 5500 Epson
with BestColor rip:

Either machine would make a good proofer, though the 5500 requires
careful lighting control due to metameric inks, and may not be capable
of some colors the 3000 can reach (and in turn may hit a few the 3000
fails to match, in the yellows) The Epson StylusRIP should not be
considered as a proofing RIP, as it lacks basic necessary functions for
this, but the BestRIP among others would allow the 3000 to do accurate
CMYK proofing. Andrew Rodney should be able to tell you just where the
Designer Edition is in its ability to run cross profile proofing with
custom profiles. It seem to have reachedthat point, but with certain
limitations.
I spoke with a teck support person from Best who said that Designer
Edition only supported canned output profiles for the various machines
it worked with. Custom input profiles were fine, but custom output
profiles were not. No info on whether improvements were expected.
