Opinions vary, but for your uses I don't see any need of a RIP; you can print 
both color and B&W with excellent results right from the driver. For all the 
talk I hear; most RIP based, and even most third party gray-ink based, prints 
I see are actually less linear than what I get from the driver with an 
appropriate profile.
