Chapter 2: Printing with EPSON Drivers for Macintosh

Tip: Check the EPSON Pro Graphics website at http://prographics.epson. com for updated drivers and utilities that may become available.

Your EPSON Stylus Pro 4000 comes with drivers and utilities that let you print and manage print jobs in non-PostScript®mode. ICC profiles for ColorSync® are included, so you can use color management features in Photoshop or other applications, or in the driver itself.

A color-managed workflow using Adobe Photoshop will give you the most accurate colors and best photographic output from your EPSON Stylus Pro 4000. You need to make sure your Photoshop color settings are optimized for your printer, as described on the Mastering Your Printer CD-ROM.

You can create your own profiles if you have the required hardware and software, or you can have them created by a color specialist. Make sure any profiles you want to use are located in the standard folder for your operating system. When you install the EPSON printer driver, the ready-made profiles are automatically copied to the right folder.
