With the news of a CMYKRB Epson printer, I'm wondering what the obstacles
are/will be for RIP manufacturers to write drivers for these printers. Will
custom profiling be significantly more difficult? I know David and others on
this list had some experiences with the CMYKOG inksets and the consenus
seemed to be a lot of pain and little gain, at least for photogrpahic work.
The default OS interface is to send the printer RGB data -- so there
are no obstacles other than profiling.
Yes, if the application wants to send CMYKRB or CMYKOG directly to
the printer, there are some problems -- but you can still transform
RGB or CMYK to those inksets using ICC profiles and then ship the
data to the printer.
The user shouldn't have any pain here.
The only serious pain will be for testing the driver APIs, and
developing good profiles (lots of redundancy = lots of chances to
introduce artifacts).
