The Caldera RIP runs native under Linux, and through an emulator (X11), which is not exactly an emulator, on Mac. X11 is no longer included with recent Mac installs, but XQuartz components can be installed to allow continued support for running Linux applications on the Mac.

Good Morning!
I have a client who is looking at purchasing a Caldera GrandRIP+ to drive several (3-4) grand format machines.
They have asked me for input, and frankly, I have no experience with this RIP or even printers of this size. I told them I would pass the question along to see if I could gather some info for them.
From what I gather online, Caldera seems to be a respected and powerful piece of software.
So… Just curious if anyone has anecdotal experience with this RIP, good or bad, and any caveats that I should pass along? Does this RIP lend itself to straightforward color management?
Many thanks!

We use Caldera to print too many printers. One difference between Caldera and Onyx is that it runs on Linux/OSX and not Windows. We prefer that, others may not. Mark
