Bruce,
I would like some clarification.

The only times I use the software RIP to proof Quark formatted jobs on
my desktop Epson before going to CMYK film is when there are vector
graphics that won't print properly without the RIP. But the color and
dot pattern suffer. Sometimes I proof the whole job in RGB and then
paste the Ripped graphics in place to show the customer. If there is a
better way to do this with the tools I have I'd love to know.
What exactly did you proof on the 1270? Were you just proofing TIFFs in
this way or is there a way to convert a CMYK Quark doc to RGB for
proofing on an inkjet?
Thanks,
John M
