In my opinion, inkjet is the future of graphic arts proofing.
We're currently supplying our customers with three proofing systems (all
digital proofs): Digital Cromalin (a.k.a. Waterproof), Iris, and Epson. In
fact, when having got an abolutely impossible deadline we also sold HP
Designjet 5000 prints as proofs (with good results at the printing press).
We sold our analog Cromalin a couple of months ago, a fact I'm more than
happy about. It is a good and idiot-proof system, but that doesn't make it
any more than tomorrow exactly as wrong as today.
As for ease of use, flexibility and stability (of the system) the Epson
beats the other ones, and I could not at all imagine spending money on
reprosauria as the Iris and the Digital Cromalin are.
The downside is the stability of the proofs as even with a good ink-paper
combo they tend to change colors during the first 1/4 hour after printing
and start changing again after some six or eight weeks.
I'm indeed very excited to see the first results of the new Epson 7600
machine.
Bart, let me tell you that from my experience a week is not much time when
trying to find the one-and-only system.
Anyway good luck with your decision,
Jo Euler
