[MCN-L] Color management/IT question

[Jeff L. La Clair]

We currently run our rip through one of our MAC's that is used for making labels in the galleries and servers two users.  We are planning on using a MINI-MAC, it's cheap and low cost.  We print to Epson 9600.  Hope this helps some.

Hi everyone,

We are planning to implement a color-managed publication workflow that
includes a networked RIP installation. The RIP is to be networked so
that it can serve two printers located in different places and also to
allow more than one workstation to send print jobs through the RIP.

The vendor has advised against installing the RIP on a virtualized
server. We recently transitioned to a fully virtualized data center, and
our IT staff is understandably keen to avoid "one-off" server purchases
for isolated purposes such as this one. They intend to install the RIP
on a virtualized server, despite the warnings of the vendor.

Have any of you been down this road? Are you running your RIPs on a
virtualized server or on a dedicated box?

Thanks,

Will Real
