The 5000 is a very different device than the 5500! On another topic, you will
not find too many enthusiasts of the hardware Fiery RIPs for Epspon inkjets
on this list, as they are difficult or impossible (depending on who you
listen to) to use with custom CMYK profiles for cross profile proofing work.
