Installing EPSON Stylus RIP for Macintosh

ColorSync 2.x Support

For applications that support ColorSync 2.x, use the ICC profiles that are included with the EPSON Stylus RIP software.

When you install the RIP software, these profiles should automatically be copied to the ColorSync profiles folder in your Preferences folder within the System folder. If the profiles are not copied automatically, you may need to copy them yourself.

Note:

It is recommended that you install a ColorSync profile for all your input/output devices (monitor, scanner, etc.) to achieve successful color matching.

PANTONE Color Support

PANTONE professional color palette files for your printer are included with the EPSON Stylus RIP software. These files can be read directly into PANTONE-licensed applications so you can have printer calibrated versions of PANTONE colors. The colors are calibrated to use the RIP’s error diffusion halftoning and EPSON coated paper and photo-quality media.

To install PANTONE color tables for your printer, open the PANTONE folder in the Stylus RIP Utilities folder on your hard drive. Double-click the icon that corresponds to your printer, and follow the prompts to install your printer’s PANTONE color table.

For application-specific usage instructions of your PANTONE color table, refer to the “HowToMac” PDF file that is installed with the PANTONE color table. Use the Find command in the Finder’s File menu to locate the file on your hard drive.
