Affordable RIPs for in-house proofing, that will take six channel DCS2 press
seperations and accurately recombine them, convert to a six color inkjet
profile, restricting it to the gamut of the press profile? And at the same
time render Pantone spot colors by named color callout defined by the inkjet
profile and again limited to the press gamut? I'd love to know what inkjet
RIPs you are referring to.

Not if you know how to use Gretag's iQue product.
If you define an RGB file in Illustrator, place AdobeRGB images in it, and
pick Pantone colors from the library, are you saying that iQue will then
convert the AdobeRGB images to the inkjet profile gamut limited to the press
Hexachrome profile, and at the same time manage named color callout
replacements for the RGB defined Pantones via the PressHex limits to the
inkjet profile? My experience is that the Pantones are not called out
successfully from RGB, due to how Adobe not querying the PPD before dealing
with named colors from RGB, as it does from CMYK. Can IQue fix that?
