Caldera is one of the most unintuitive RIPs known to man. Check out EFI Fiery XF or GMG Colorproof. Terry Sent from Terry's iPad Mini

Caldera has support for balancing light/dark ink splits, linearizing the ink channels, determining a total ink limit, and creating ICC profiles. It also has functions for black generation choices. Recently Caldera has also included an RGB mode with excellent shadow detail, and very neutral gray ramps. They have also updated their user interface, making use even easier for first time users. Workflow support and multiple printer support is also included, and increasing over time.

Many of these large formats printers are sold with some RIP, whether this one or one like Ony Postershop who has extensive printers support.
I'm sure Caldera has plenty of support for basic color management operations.
As long as the RIP can put the printer in some sort of "calibrated" state, custom profiling becomes possible and color managed queues can be setup without too much difficulty.
Have you had a chance to look at Caldera's User Guide?

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!
