I mentioned this RIP on the list some time ago. Its the first instance I have
seen of keyed media... that is to say you need to use a special key for every
sheet of media printed on with this RIP. The spectral (though canned)
fingerprint process sounds decidedly familiar from another RIP that resurfaces
repackaged in one manner or another every so often, but as a single purpose proofing
RIP, using canned printer definitions (no matter how "spectral"), and keying
every sheet of media that runs through the printer, I was sufficiently
uninterested to not pursuing determining the actual core involved.
