Terry and Martin, Onyx Productionhouse has a browser interface as well, and we save many jobs such as POP and tradeshow graphics involving text and images from InDesign and Quark as Acrobat files which can be dragged and dropped or printed to the RIP. However, almost all the work I do personally is fine art reproduction, which, despite a color-managed workflow, almost always requires at least some tweaking to perfect the color. Because our customers usually order prints of a specific size and white border, I create the file with the requisite border and the print's dimensions in its file name and archive it on DVD, together with a target (BAT) print, that are used for future reprints. Although, my customer's duotone was a photograph, he wanted it printed on Arches watercolor paper, so it was printed from my Mac in the usual manner when it went pear shaped. My intent of my original post was to see if others had encountered the "stickyness" of Photoshop's output settings and to alert those who had not. How the hog ate the cabbage, if you will. I now leave the Output/Color Management drop-down menu with Color Management selected so any changes in Color Handling can be seen. Cheers, Richard Terence Wyse wrote:
Was thinking the same thing…..who *prints* to a RIP/virutal printer when it’s much safer/simpler to either drop the file in a hot folder or upload the file directly to the RIP?
I don’t know about Onyx Production House….but our Onyx Thrive system has a browser UI that lets you submit/upload a file directly to the RIP from any workstation.

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.
