This may sound crazy, and I don't know if I've mentioned this before on the lists (it's been a crazy few weeks), but check out Gimp-Print under OS X. It's an opensource print driver that supports almost any Epson printer under the sun. The lead developer is now actively adding color controls (curves for each channel) to the driver to should be able handle the ink limiting functions and grey balance issues that crop up here often. Look for that in the latest development builds. It uses ESP Ghostscript for its postscript interpreter, which I believe is what Best uses and extends to handle different file formats.

I used it with an older Epson I used to get access to custom paper sizes in OS X and was happy with the results, but I did no critical color evaluations. http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php3

I am in search of an inkjet printer for proofing my work that will run natively under OSX. Obviously, PostScript and good color management are requirements and at least 13x19 sizes is also needed. Since I am a small design firm I need to stay below $3000. Does anyone have advice for me on this subject?

Thanks

Clint
