The situation: An image was printed through both Onyx RIP engines, RipQ and XRip, on the same printer, same profile, same media, same batch, same day (maybe 30 min. apart).

Result: There was a hue shift between the two versions.

Theoretically, these prints should be identical. Or am I wrong?

I printed one through Production house and the other through Layout Tool, 7.1, on an HP 5500.

Has anyone else experienced a profile defense when printing through layout tool vs. production house?

I am not familiar with RipQ or XRip, but there are quite a few settings in the color management workflow that could account for the differences. Input profiles, ink restrictions / reductions, linearization data, as well as the halftoning method used by each of the Rips used. Short answer - identical, No!
