Hi Phil
Depending on the version of the Rip you can use a DTP41 or Eye-One to do the
calibration in ColorWise Pro Tools. Click on the Calibrator button and
instead of choosing AutoCal for a scanner based calibration choose ES-1000
(for the Eye-One) or the DTP41 and then it is fairly straightforward.
When you output the profile patches make sure that in the Printer options
under the Colorwise section that CMYK Simulation is set to None. This will
turn off the colour management but leave the calibration active.
After building the profile you can go back to Colorwise Pro Tools and use
the Profile Manager function to copy over your profile, and your simulation
profile of choice, to the Rip and set them as defaults.
I do this a lot and it all works very well. The results are good, but
dependent on how stable the copier is. Give me ring if you get stuck.
