Hi Guys,

Anyone heard of or used this Rip before?

Doing a little research on the RIP I have found that its more directed towards color copiers than wide format printers.

Quote:

Although ColorBus RIPs are mainly for controlling color copiers, the Colorbus Cyclone PostScript RIP works with Encad, Hewlett-Packard, Mimaki, and Xerox wide format printers. The RIP that got most of our attention, however, was the ColorBus RIP for the Hewlett-Packard DesignJet 1050 and 1055, since that is precisely the printer that we have in Guatemala.

I haven't seen it in years. Used to be the bomb for copiers. They went through a rough patch and lost market. Had a large format customer that loved it. Started off living on a UNIX box and had a bumpy transfer to Windoze. They sorted it out after a number of revisions. Was a pretty solid RIP in its day.

In the last 6 years of doing consultation and training I haven't seen nor heard of it.
