There's no separate inklimit control + linearisation in
PressReady like most pro RIP's have. As I understand it this can
be compensated by using the custom CMYK printer profiles that
ProfilerPro is able to make in PhotoShop. Tobie and Culbertson
must know some things on that subject. I tried Profiler Pro as a
CMYK printer profiler for the Wasatch SoftRip and then it seems
to have a problem with the separate linearisation tool of the
Rip. Profiler Pro seems to be more suited for RIP's and printer
drivers that do not have ink limitation and linearisation.
My experience was with profiling for colour prints though.
