Oh, I've managed an outburst one or twice in the past -:).

The industry is changing because technologies are changing. The fact
that spectrophotometers are increasingly common has created the
expectation that color proofs and color prints can be compared with dE
a*b*. The fact that a lean and mean PDF flavour is increasingly common
has created the expectation that clean PDF will be generated by the
page designer. And the fact that there has been a shake-up in the RIP
industry means that a subset of constructs in the Adobe Imaging Model
can expected to be supported across the board.
As always there is the dry, dusty and dead cake of custom on
mindscapes. I am ever so tired of the ColorSync community, both the
developer and the user side, conceiving only of chromatic images, and
sniping at page publishing, PDF and PostScript. The reason there has
been LogoProof, BatchMatcherPS and iQueue is that the mindset of the
ColorSync community is not coterminous with the reality in which the
ColorSync community has found itself since the very beginning. Now,
color servers are in a sense niche products for highend automation,
because if manufacturers of authoring applications and RIP applications
had got the basics right to begin with, color servers would not have
had to do double duty as workarounds. Fortunately, things are looking
better and brighter, both for authoring applications and RIP
applications.
There, I managed an outburst, too -:).
Thanks,
Henrik
