Not necessarily.  A RIP gives additional control but with this system the
Dmax is so high and the range thus so expanded that this control is not
quite so important (ie you don't really need "rich black" CMYK ink
specifications to get a deep black).  The six color 1200 did very very well
just sending a grayscale to it with moderate dot area curve adjustment (or
gamma curve).  The 3000 and other four color printers need more control of
the individual channels but I think that RGB partitioning methods will be
quite acceptable.
