Don’t think I’ve *printed* to a RIP for at least a decade now. As the recent flurry of posts shows, t’s just too risky.
All drag and drop here. PDFs or bitmaps get dumped in their respective print queue folders and there’s no nasty surprises — they either print or get held because of preflight failures in each queue.
Giving people “options” like you get in the print dialog is giving them additional opportunities to make mistakes :(
And I would think that duotones must be especially risky to push through a print driver? They’re already good to go, why risk another transformation?
Much safer to wrap them up in a PDF via InDesign so that you can check that the channels and colour names are in good shape before dumping them on the RIP.
