Yes, sort of. I would call it an "add-on" whereas the HP "Z" series printers truly have an internal spectro.

I don't know about *ONLY* with RIPs....but it works very well with RIPs that support this feature.

AFAIK, no, there's no way to store an internal calibration. The HP "Z" series can store an internal calibration but it's more of a linearization than it is a colorimetric calibration (only "calibrates" the pure ink channels but does not do any sort of hue correction that I know of).

GMG Colorproof....it will start with a master calibration target and then create printer-specific calibration files. You specify the dE tolerance you would like to hold for all the printers and, optionally, set them up on an automatic calibration schedule. There's an upper limit as to how many printers you can manage from a single box (generally 4's the limit) but you can certainly install the master calibration file on to multiple GMG RIPs if necessary.
I've done many GMG+HP z2100/6100 installs and just did my first GMG + 2 x Epson 9890+Spectroproofer install a few weeks ago and it just works.
