I think Mr. Printman would be looking at other features of a Rip in addition to color rendering. You can often get relatively accurate color output (with a competent printer and custom profile) without a Rip, or linearization/calibration procedure, printing directly from Photoshop, but there is a lot of functionality missing that a Rip provides. Still, it would be interesting to see if Colorbase allows printers of the similar build type and using the same paper to use a single common profile and have them all render accurate output. This is similar in concept to how GMG operates, which does this very well.

Mr. Printman has Qimage running on a PC printserver. For the
occasional Postscript interpretation he uses Photoshop and
sends the Tiff to Qimage. His next decision is not whether he
will get a RIP but whether he will get an Eye 1 as his color
management is not that sound. ColorBase will tip the scale for
him, he now gets consistency with Epson profiles and Epson
media. The step after that is making custom profiles for third
party papers. If he needs B&W he selects QTR to drive his K3
Epson and his Eye 1 controls that too.
He may look for a RIP when he gets a solvent, UV curing,
fabric printer. Can't drive it otherwise.
