RIP's we use
Frog:
I use it mostly with CorelDRAW along with Corel's option to output as a device Independent bitmap file without the dummy printer driver.
For Photoshop, there is also another option, Easyart

I have pretty much the same set up here.

I have never heard of those rips. Can you elaborate more about them?

Simple easy to use RIP for positives, even has the first order stochastic dot feature available.
Chadwick:
SimRip ( ala photoshop ) which has a slight calibration curve aimed at the old Epson 3000, which I set up
with the easily accessible print driver settings. Dark films. Good exposure. Stock ink.
My only drawback is I rip at 600dpi, but I have gone nuts on a few occasions and made it 1440 dpi.
( BIG FILE! )
720 source file works just great, 600 source file just speeds up output a bit.
I wish the 3000 had some internal RAM..maybe it does, but I don't think so.
Did I mention, I spend a few minutes looking at the dots ( and adjusting if needed ) before I hit print?
( not just the greys )
I remember doing the postscript thing years ago, and I always seemed to hate something in the dots
on at least one screen after output.
I'm sure all the expensive RIP's do wonderful things.
I bet I'd still do the manual thing before output though.

No bells and whistles, but it does everything I need so far.

Do you use it with PS or Corel?

I made a write-up to use Ghost with PS, COREL and Illy.
Oh, and I'm on the low end of the food chain so I use Ghost.
