Chris, Go to www.studiorip.com and download a demo. It does film positives and also color proofs, both continuous tone and "dot proofs" (simulating the final halftone dot), and has it's own profiling module. Proofmaster (www.proofmaster.net) also does film positives and color proofing. -- Roberto Michelena On Thu, Dec 8, 2011 at 5:30 PM, Vogel, Chris <c-vogel@nga.gov> wrote:
I would appreciate some suggestions in finding a replacement software RIP for our Epson 4800 and 7800.
We were using the RIP for two purposes: sending InDesign files for either color mock-ups for publications or for film positives for silkscreeening.
In the past wešve been using the ColorBurst RIP, but once we upgraded to version 7.2, we lost our ability to send pages at custom sizes as well as tiling pages. ColorBurst support said that we should not have been able to do either one of these with the earlier versions so they couldnšt help us. As an interim measure, wešve been using the AccuRip-Wide for film positives, but it would be preferable to have a RIP that would also work for color.
We need to make sure that the RIP will accept native InDesign files, output rich blacks for film positives as well full-color, use custom page sizes that do not match the InDesign file page size, tile pages (we do many pages for exhibition graphics that are well over the size of the paper/film in the printer).
Išve also been looking at brochures for the Epson Designer Edition Series, which come with a modified version of the EPI RIP, but I wasnšt sure of the advantages of buying a RIP as part of the printer package or buying one separately.
Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks
Chris
