Yes, commercially-available PostScript 3 Test Suites are very expensive. And I can assure you that those that are commercially available are not robust enough to properly diagnose problems with PostScript 3 �emulations.� That might indicate why many printers using such �emulations� on the marketplace today do so miserably with PostScript generated by modern applications such as InDesign and Acrobat. Adobe's own PostScript validation suite and tools (which are not available for public use) were literally the result of millions of dollars in investment over the years. And they also require significant knowledge and training for proper use. Don't expect to find some cheap file or script that will give you an instant analysis of the validity of whatever device/RIP you are testing. - Dov
