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.

No Linearization I think, then you dont 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.

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. The printer
is printing in cmyk and only steering him with cmyk makes it possible to
control the data calculation and transmission exactly thats what I leraned

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 dont
make it that way

Usually I just read on this forum and never step in, but this post urged my
to write. 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.
Greetings
Georg.
