ProofMaster is another Mac based RIP.
http://proofmaster.net
I have used version 4 and earlier versions of ProofMaster as a dealer.
It has many strengths. Among those are excellent pre-press color matching, excellent photo & fine art color, easy built-in calibration, and production tools.
But I found one huge weakness that as far as I know is still uncorrected in the product. I found that their Epson drivers are utterly incapable of printing on US cut sheet paper sizes such as Letter and Tabloid. It used to be that the print would never be centered on the sheet, but it would at least print. However the situation regressed to the point that it wouldn't be able to print on US cut sheet at all. If there have been any maintenance updates that correct this problem, I have not been notified by them. I had contacted their software engineers on the matter and they were supposed to be working on a fix. They did send one update my way that did not correct the problem. I have not heard from them since.
So if your needs are limited to roll-fed media, then I would strongly consider the ProofMaster RIP. If you need US cut-sheet support, test thoroughly before purchase.
