I was wondering if anyone knows where I find free color management RIP software??
Do you mean a free trial download? Or Free forever?
If you want a temporary rip to tryout one that comes to mind is from ColorBurstrip.com.

I would like free forever. I tried limewire but nothing came up. Any other suggestions??
Full blown color RIPs are way overpriced IMO, but a logically consequense of being written for pros and high end semi-pros. “Desktop tailored” RIPs are way cheaper.
Q is, what do you want a RIP for? If you want the linearization and ink controll features, you will have to spend money on a spectrometer of some sorts. What printer do you have? If its 17" or belove there are reasonable prices out there.
But to expect free lunch… ahem…
Kind Regards

If you’re doing black and white printing, Quad Tone RIP is donation based and reasonable. Use, like, then donate. (Assuming like.) See www.quadtonerip.com.
