I think it was the other way around Neil. Prior to 4.6.x, they only
supported Status T for the Eye-One and 'Lino. Now both Status T and E are
supported, as they did prior to v4.5.x. Personally, even though I'm in the
U.S., I preferred Status E for creating a baselin as it was much easier to
get a "gray balanced" baselin prior to profiling. Status T was always a lot
of guesswork to get reasonably balanced CMY ink limits.
Lately I've been going back and forth between BestColor RIPs and the fairly
new RAMpage RIP ICC Option. I've really sort of abandoned the whole notion
of using density to determine ink limits and have gone with evaluating Lab
values along with an eye of newt and a dash of salt (IOW, using a little
magic)! for the last several inkjet printers this has worked better,
especially for the "quality" of the yellow in the proof simulation. Before,
I would always fight a scum dot of cyan in my pure "press" yellows because
of the "orange" nature of the Epson pure yellow. As a result of using Lab
values to set limits, I'm getting the cleanest yellows ever. I don't claim
to really know/understand the science of what I'm doing, all I know is I'm
getting much better results in the field where it counts.
