Hi Roger,
I don't remember that post, but EFI currently uses Epson screening as
far as
I know. And... about the screening being "built-in", that sounds like
malarkey to me. Of course, there is always the possibility that I am off
base.
GMG CP05 does allow "roll-back" for measurement, but not for "label
printing"... although I suspect this is a matter of time. Also GMG
will only
use their screening with all x900 colors in combination with their own
media. EFI will make an "on-proof label", but does not yet have their
own
screening (I suspect that, eventually they will... just not yet). The
interesting thing is that Kodak has done a good job of getting
everything
working well and bringing it to market, where other RIPs are still
developing these features. It is not to say it will be this way
forever, but
I believe that Kodak is a front-runner when it comes to x900 support. In
fairness to ORIS, I have only heard mixed reports about Color Tuner. Not
having tested it myself... I can't say for sure what it does and
doesn't do.

Marc,
I'll admit I'm not as familiar with the Kodak "KPS" Rip as I am with
GMG.
But if I remember correctly, there was a post on the List, in
spring, where
someone was telling us about EFI Colorproof XF v4 now offering their
own,
proprietary screening, for the e9900. Recently, a Fuji support
specialist
explained that the e9900 offered these new advanced digital screening
"built-in", in hardware, meaning that the host application, somehow,
no
longer needs to "screen" the data prior to sending to the printer?
BTW, don't Oris and EFI (and GMG 05?) also have the capabilities of
rolling
back the media in to measure a printed control strip with the on-board
instrument, and then roll the media back out to print a "quality
control"
ticket? How is KPS approach unique?
Best / Roger
