Sorry this machine is not sold in my area so I don't know the specfications of it. I would assume they are the same as the c6501 and have restricted options on the 5501. The toners are the same but the toner bottles are bigger on an 01 machine. I am only aware of four rips for the c6500/1 IC-408, IC-303, IC-305, and IC-304. I have no idea what a 'Professional Rip' is. My email us u8ertech@gmail.com
This is the first I have heard of this rip. From what I gather from the speel I have found this would be the KM equivalent to freeflow. Reading between the lines this rip would only be available on this 'ld' model. My no scanner theory is out the window as this machine seems to have a scanner.
Like I say we don't sell these (yet) so can't offer much, sorry.
Ld-6501 Vs Bizpro 6501 have exactly the same OT, these 2 products are carried by different business units of konica minolta.
if you are in the digital printing business, it is advised to go for the pro6501 with ic304+ as the performance and the stability of the RIP ic304+ is much better
