So our EFI RIP finally died and EFI says its not supported anymore. Great. Let's spend more money on a simple program that allows us to append a color profile to output.

So what is everyone using out there with their proofers? We have an Epson P9000.

Generally speaking we do not make proofs anymore.

Wait? What? Are you talking about EFIcolor? Then I would probably upgrade to the next version which is fiery XF, right?

Yeah it was EFI Color. So I should just get the newest version?

Joe, we contemplated going 100% soft (giggity) but too risky for us.

We use Fiery XF...

We do too, but protect your dongle. They charge about 250 bucks for a new one.

Always protect your dongle!
And make certain to get the male end properly inserted into the female end. You've got a 50-50 shot of getting in the hole right the first time. If there's not a good connection, your hardware could have a software issue. Nobody wants a dangling dongle; it can be an embarrassing problem.
