No Linearization - I think, then you don't get details in the dark areas. A
linear printer gives you more detail and also saves a lot of money because it
puts less ink on the paper. Regarding peppering and black generation: I had
that issue too, but I found out, that this is no RIP-issue. Switching to
Gretag Profilemaker 4 solved that issue.
You think or you know? In this case you get plenty of details in the shadow
area. Get the demo to witness it yourself. Its nice to know that the average
user needs to buy PMP4 for an additional 3 grand to get a good CMYK profile
worth a crap. Monaco Profiler is even better (at CMYK) from my experience. My
point was that ImagePrint will do its own black channel generation, the
average guy may not know where to start with these settings to get them
correct.

Try out Best PhotoXposure! Best has implemented an RGB-Workflow into that
application which has a very huge gamut. I had an ImagePrint V4 Demo for
testing and the printout of Best was much better and closer to the original.
If it looks excellent under a loupe, it is a contender. Past versions are far
to coarse for photographic / fine art output, I cannot say I've seen the
prints from this RIP yet so I'll have to reserve comment.

The issue I found out is, that when I use a printer as a rgb-device, the
printouts where inconsistent and no printout was exactly the same.
This happens with the Epson driver, such is life....

I believe every manufacturer has his research department and there must be a
reason, why only colorbyte makes it this way or better: why others don't
make it that way.
Everyone else does expect you to own a densitometer and dial in your own
machine, you should be gald you don't have to buy a DTP41 just to get your new
RIP to print nicely, most people might see that as a perk.

Just stating good things about Colorbyte and saying statements why
Colorbyte makes it right (and the others not) without exactly describing why,
lets me feel bad - the original poster wrote here to get opinions but no
marketing campagne, why Colorbyte is that damn good.
Sorry for bothering you.
I'm not trying to look like I'm their cheerleader, but there are just way too
many people discounting a product they have yet to even try just because they
think it can't work based on the fact that it isn't a Postershop rip-off.
I also cannot say exactly how Colorbyte gets the results, I'm not privy to
their "secrets" in ImagePrint. I'm not a developer, only an end user which
expects fine prints for a couple grand investment.
