INKdrop is simply a way to select either ICC or device link profiles for output. INKdrop is NOT an ink optimization or "ink savings" feature of RAMpage. Lots of confusion regarding Alwan, INKdrop and ink optimization in general.įirst, let's define what RAMpage INKdrop is.and isn't. Thanks in advance for your help with this. I am also aware of Rampages color policy addition in v12 but i am really looking for a device link / GCR Solution. I have read just about everything on this forum that has the words GCR, Rampage Inkdrop and Alwan in them and have not yet found the information needed to make me sure im spending my bosses money on the right product. Make-ready and stability throughout the run are improved dramatically. Im cutting the ink down to 300 for coated and 280 for uncoated. Im using Alwan right now with the standard Gracol profile with gcr set at 5 and i haven't seen a reason for custom profiles yet. I am also aware that that fuji's implementation of inkdrop will only supply me with 2 custom DVLP's and then $1500.00 for each after or i can buy the tools needed to create them on my own. I would love to hear from both Alwan and Inkdrop users as i am open to both products. Dropping a file into a hot-folder is not really that fare off from seamless. If a standalone software is going to work better than an inline option than i am going with that. I understand that having inkrop inline seems like the way to go in terms of ease and automation and that is how they will try to sell me on it im sure. I cant help but wonder why inkdrop was not part of the study when all the major players were there. With that said, is it really possible that they never heard of Alwan? How about the fact that Alwan placed in the top of its category in the ink optimization roundup performed by Idealliance and inkdrop failed to contend. The only thing that comes close to topping there product, in my mind is there customer support. I love Rampage and wouldn't even consider switching workflows if another was given to me. They were quick to dismiss Alwan even to the tune of acting as if they didnt even know about the product which if find very hard to swollow. I decided to bounce this product off the guys at Rampage just to see what they had to say about it. I have been testing out Alwans Eco product for a week now and have pretty much fallen in love the software/solution. We currently have zero color management and are looking to impliment a solution along with the upgrade. We are working in Rampage 11.3 and are about to upgrade to version 12 for the threaded processing. We aim to please and are willing to invest in any product that is going to make our lives easier and product better. We are a small operation that has large clients with very high expectations.
