Our company will be purchasing an Epson 9800. We're being told that the Efi Colorproof XF is a superior product compared to ColorBurst X- Proof rip software. Does anyone on the list have experience with both that they might offer an opinion?
Depends on what you're doing really. Both products are capable, but X-Proof seems a bit more pleasant to use. How do you intend to use the 9800? Who will be interacting with the RIP? Prepress guys or production artists? That's an important question to answer.
We also currently use a DTP41 with Monaco Profiler to create our Profiles. We are now being recommended to use a SpectroScan Table with a Spectrolino. This is being recommended as it is the only device that actually stops and presses against the target delivering unmatched profiles.
Can anyone on the list verify any of this, or offer a better solution?
Stick with Profiler and get yourself a DTP-70. WAY faster than the 'Lino...albeit not as flexible with the 'Lino's removable filters (UV cutoff, polarizer,etc). That being said I hardly ever change the filter on mine! The speed of the DTP-70 will allow you to experiment a bit more as the measurements take a fraction of the time. I don't think (and many will agree) that the 'Lino takes superior measurements just because it comes into contact with the media.
Good luck,
