Title: Re: Shiraz Rip
Marco,
I made a stab at this starting about two years ago. I wrote a 48 page book about rips called the RIP Report. It was part technical primer about rips and color management and advice about how to buy a rip. Other than working with third party rips for years, the deal is that I spent a focused year looking at, working with and keep track of all the rips I could find in the market, then I published this book about a year ago. Now, as I expected, a lot of the information is out of date. There are over 70 rips in the market and because of that it is a moving target.
As for verifying all of the rip vendors claims, I was on that wave length for a few months and I even had some help to test out some vendors claims, but as you are commenting on, there is just too much info to verify. In my view the best solution is to find a hand full of rips that seem to make sense to you and your clients and then learn and work with them and figure out what works and what is broken.
And if there is one thing I have found with rips,it is that none of them are prefect and a lot of the rips vendors tell me that.

Have you ever look at ColorBus Cyclone RIP? I don't know where they are sold in the US today (or elsewhere in the world -- the company is in Australia) but they are among the best fully color managed RIPs in the world you can get your hands on.
I don't know what others feel, but I am starting to get truly overwhelmed by the maddeningly large number of inkjet RIPs out there. I don't have (does anybody?) even close to enough money or time or connections to go and figure out this tangle of competing claims from such a thicket of manufacturers.
Am I alone in feeling this way?
Abhay Sharma, or someone, help us sort out this mess, please! How about something like an "Inkjet RIP Newsletter" to keep us all up-to-date and straight on the matter?
