In response to Guy Beckett's helpful review of PowerRIP X, I thought I would add a couple points that may prove useful to anyone considering a purchase. Prior to ordering, in an effort to gain clarity on a couple issues raised by Guy, I phoned iProof's support.

1. According to a very helpful tech/developer named Ted, you have unlimited reinstalls on up to two machines. This was something I wanted to clear up as I'm often times wiping drives at home and at the studio. Two reinstalls simply wasn't going to get it. In other words, one purchase will net licensing for two machines. The installer gathers ID info from your machine's motherboard. iProof then issues a registration number which identifies your machine (helpful for future support troubleshooting as well as assurance you're using the software on the original machine[s]) and an install code.

2. If you have machines on OS X and 9, PowerRIP X will serve clients on 9.

3. If you own PressReady, that will qualify you for a competitive product upgrade ($319 for PowerRIP X and $249 for PowerRIP 2000). Honestly, $369 is a steal for what appears to be a very well developed product. Can anyone suggest an alternative OSX Rip supporting multiple printers (yes, only Epson for now - Canon and HP being developed as we speak, according to Ted), with extensive, high quality color profiles for several papers/resolutions at any price. I've looked around - there ain't no such animal.

Maybe I'm just delirious from the prospect of finally having a PostScript Rip for OS X but it sure appears these folks have done their homework.
