We have been running a Wasatch Rip for about 10 years, and have found it
does a good job for us. It's especially nice that it drives a wide
variety of printers, and can handle up to 4 at once, without additional
license fees. It's also pretty easy to set up and run, and has a good
method of setting up a color work flow that is really flexible. We
currently drive two HP 5000's with it, but have driven Rolands and
Encads in the past. We use it mostly for printing graphics panels for
portable displays and trade show exhibits. It's tiling, nesting and
scaling controls work well for us. It also handles spot color
replacement extremely well.
The only issue we have had has been using it's internal linearization,
and prefer to handle this step with our ICC profile making software. I'm
sure that with some time and effort, and tech support from Wasatch
(which is very good), we'd get to the bottom of it.
We also run a Mimaki with the Ergosoft RIP, and it does a good job for
us too. We have not upgraded it for some time, and probably suffer a bit
from that. Peter Supry of Ergosoft has consistently given us great
support with it. It's biggest drawback is the expense of adding
additional devices. We use it for banners and vinyl work for the most part.
I guess that the advice I would give you is to try to project a few
years ahead, and get a RIP that might handle what you'd like to be doing
then, as well as what you are doing now.
