<p>I'd like to mention at least one alternative to RIPs and printer calibrations. <br>

Veroproof, world's first completely FREE CERTIFIED RIP is open source, works for the Epson R2880, HP B8850 and HP B9180 and even comes with a complimentary calibration service when Veroproof paper is purchased. <br>

But how can this solve the issue of constantly needing to calibrate? Because each sheet of Veroproof paper is pre-printed with an absolutely accurate color reference bar. When your proof is printed a second bar (from your printer) is printed and can be visually compared to the first one.<br>

Problem solved - no more calibration required....unless there is a visual problem.<br>

<p>All,<br>

<br /> During the development of our RIP software we extensively evaluated both the Epson 1900 and the HP 8850. We had planned to support the Epson 1900 model initially but found that there was a high degree of color metamerism (which yielded metallic and unacceptable tones). Therefore, we decided in favor of the HP 8850. We also tested the Epson 2880 and HP 9180 and they yielded acceptable results.<br>

<p>You may want to check out veroproof (www.veroproof.com). It is a free colo management software that prints to common standards like GRACoL or SWOP. Quality commercial printers should able to match the image that you see from the proof created.</p>
