Are you saying that somehow the Imageprint rip secretly and intimately knows
your printer so well that it is exactly what the canned profile is, but
every other rip couldn't possibly be supplied with an equally fine tuned
linearisation for the average printer?
HP has an on board densiometer for linearisation tables for the 10,20, 50PS
printers and there is a rip that comes with it. No need to buy any
additional equipment there.
Please note that most rips come with pre-made linearisations for the papers
that are supported. I have never used Wasatch, so it's surprising to hear
their lin/profiles are so far off. I will certainly say though that Best
supplies very good set ups for a very large range of OEM papers, their
custom papers for a huge line up of printers.
IF the quality of the supplied lin/profiles are not up to it then that's an
issue to take up with your supplier.
I'll just recap ; out of the box some rip's give good results from the get
go , reportedly Imageprint does a very nice job with a particular printer
type. If you want to custom profile you need more tools, linearise tools,
and either a densio or spectro photometer to do this.
