We from Best developed the function of our pre-linearizatipon and
re-linearization of printers now 3 years ago, at this time the
spectralphotometers were very expencive and not so many poeple bought
one of those. That is the reason why we based the "Linearization" on
Densities. At this time also the printers weren't so stable like the
printers now and after you had switched off the printer for the
weekend they changed the colors after turning on. Now the costumer had
2 options, building a new profile using the Pre-linearization or to
re-linearize the printer via densitometer.
This is the option you have now too,
1. you can use one of ours Pre-linearizations for a special Printer
(Ink)/Paper combination and build a new profile (This will work also
in our Mac Version)
or
2. you use the re-linearzation via measurement (Mac only visual) to
get your printer to the same conditions like our printer
or
3. you start from the very beginnig and create your own
Pre-linearization and profile (only PC Version). This is the option
for profiling a costumer paper or different Inks.
or
4. you use the canned Profiles and you do nothing from 1. to 3.
(nearly 70% of our costumers do this and they are happy with the
results)
You see, it is up to you which result you will get out of the Best
RIP, the best results will be produced from 1. or 4. (depending on
your knowledge of linearizing a Inkjet).
RGB Printing:
Yes, older versions of our RIP had problems with RGB Postscript (not
with RGB Tiff), they changed internaly RGB to CMYK and the result was
poor, but since Version 4.6 you can set the Interpreter to RGB.
I hope this will help you all to understand why some tools are
implemented in our Best RIP which other RIP's dont't have.
Best regards
Ulf Grossmann
