Also missing is:
- Artist RIP from Koreasoft http://www.artistrip.com/english/
- IJC/OPM from Bowhaus http://www.bowhaus.com
- RTI-RIP ???
- Heidelberg still has something but I can't remember it's name
- I think Fuji still has something
- EFI still has a few hardware based RIPs, but I don't think they 
have any of these for inkjets.
- HP but I think only for their printers

And there is (at least) one other that I know exists, but isn't 
listed, and I can not remember its name or who makes it.

Don't forget that many do not yet support the newest printers.
