Starproof OR GMG?

I was looking at the Starproof also. Why? It works on OS X!. I wish I could run gmg on OS X instead of Windows!

I think Starproof prints one of the best dots on the inkjet but the problem with StarProof is that it ONLY prints dots and there is no contone printing. To get accurate color match you have to do MANY MANY (10-20) manual color tweaks. At least if you want to match something as tough as Fuji FinalProof.

There are only 2 contenders in my opinion - gmg and CGS. I discarded CGS because I couldn't get decent dots on HP 1050c and I need this to proof newsprint ads. I like gmg interface better - it's simple. In CGS every hotfolder has it's own window. I put 21" monitor for my 12 hotfolders and it was still cluttered. In gmg there is one window for all printers and hotfolders.
