We still use Colorburst X-proof running epson 7900 and 9900 and 4000 printers. I looking into changing them soon.
Our primary need is photographic and less indesign in comparison to your needs.
I’m in to process of exploring options for replacing our X-Poof rips too.
Questions I have are…
1: What are there print length limitations with native epson print driver? (more photographic related)
2: We profile our Monitors at 5000K. So having colorburst X-Proof running the epson printers as CMYK gives our users the ability to select the CMYK printer profile on our work stations for adobe to give us a real absolute colorimeteric renderings should they want them. If we were to select an RGB printer profile as the destination profile in adobes print dialogue box, the Absolute colorimetric request gets ignored and adobe gives you a relative rendering instead.
So for running the printers as CMYK we get an additional and very useful print rendering option to what we would otherwise get.
And In my experience, on the right image, the option to print Absolute colorimetric can make a significant improvement in the appearance of the print. Compared with relative, perceptual or saturation options.
There may be work-arounds for this when using overdrive but I haven’t explored them yet. But the two items I mention above is why I haven’t swapped to overdrive yet. But I will download a copy soon and have a look.
I’m looking at other Rip solutions too but they are significantly more expensive.
Please keep me posted as to what you end up doing.
Best Regards
Peter Miles
