ImagePrint RIP is quite different from most of the others around. Besides the obvious production tools to speed up projects there are other features that are not available in other RIPs. There is no linearization, no ink limits, just choose the proper profile and media and print. The Shadow Point slider offers a different "shadow" generation from 0 (very dense) to 300 (very open). This is available in color and B&W profiles. Colorbyte will, at no charge, produce new profiles for any material that you use that is not in the huge list available with their Profile Manager app. You print the charts, color and/or B&W, ship to them and they publish the new profiles. Very nice. There are more features but I think these three are very important. Cheers, Barry Rudick Aker Imaging
