I hear of people weekly who were persuaded to buy a RIP with a printer
because the printer supposedly worked better with it. It is certainly
not always so.
So save the RIP cash [unless you have to regularly print postscript]
and buy integratedcolorsolutions basICColor Display with the eyeOne.
You'll not look back.<
Neil, with all do respect, not everyone is going to be happy with the color
accuracy of these printers out of the box. Its also been well documented and
proven over and over that an ICC profile cannot usually curb the nasty
behavior of certain output problems. The standard driver is a way to get your
feet wet, but even with Atkinson profiles I can well surpass the results with
ImagePrint. Onyx works well with these printers as well, but it is more suited
to prepress workflows and has a lot of extra tools for screwing with things
that users shouldn't be touching anyway. I can also say for sure that the
7600/9600 are about 30% faster with ImagePrint than with the stock driver,
that is quite a productivity increase in itself. You can also make a strong
case that B+W printing is all but impossible with the standard driver.
ImagePrint , Onyx, Wasatch, Scanvec, lots of people print non postcript with
these systems and don't feel cheated out of their money. I'd demo the printer
with and without a RIP and decide if it will pay for itself as far as print
quality and time/media saved, and just how much this is worth to you.
