True, there is no hard and fast answer for single object, single space workflows where only TIFF is printed.

If multi-object, multi-space workflows in PostScript and PDF are used, a software RIP (or RIP / color server combo) which supports PDF/X-3 and a color managed control strip is a must IMO.

RIPs need to move from the back end where they have lived until now up on the desktop with an understandable UI, along with InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator. What does one do with a PDF document without a RIP to process it? Nothing, nada, nichts, nichevo -:).

Now that the Mac has a powerful UNIX core, the paradigm for device independence should change from pixels to pages, as it used to be before NT strayed onto the scene (strayed, not stayed, hopefully).
