I don't know much about this utility other than that it has been out there
for some time now (and that it's expensive!).
One thing I'm concerned with is that the designers and creatives I mostly
work with would not want to have to deal with anything that requires them to
manage an even small amount of complex color knowledge. So, my question is:
how does this tool make their life easier?
It's one thing to tell designers that all they have to be concerned with is
naming their spot colors correctly (which is basically all they have to do
when a studio uses a RIP), and quite another to ask them to perform one or
(even worse!) a series of procedures that they strongly tend to resist as
detrimental to their way of work.
Is there any URL that explains the inner workings of VectorPro and offers
concrete examples of how it makes life easier in the everyday environment of
a design studio? (The Praxisoft site is VERY skimpy)
Thank you for any pointers.
