Introduction
Here’s what you can use the EPSON Stylus RIP for:
◗Printing documents with placed or imported EPS images
◗Printing from complex PostScript-based drawing and publishing applications like Adobe Illustrator,® Macromedia® Freehand,® Adobe PageMaker,® QuarkXPress, and CorelDRAW™
◗Matching PANTONE® spot colors
For all other printing applications, especially photography, use the standard, non-PostScript EPSON driver. In many cases, you will get better performance with the standard driver than with the EPSON Stylus RIP.
Special Features
To make the most of your printer’s photo-quality output, the EPSON Stylus RIP software includes these special features:
◗EPSON error diffusion software, the same high-quality AcuPhoto Halftoning™ technology used in EPSON’s non-PostScript printer drivers
◗PANTONE professional color palette files—calibrated for your EPSON Stylus Color or EPSON Stylus Photo printer using a variety of media at various resolutions—to give you PANTONE colors when you use PANTONE licensed applications
◗Support for ColorSync® 2.x on the Macintosh and Image Color Matching (ICM) for Windows through International Color Consortium® (ICC) profiles
◗Press Simulation, which adjusts your EPSON printer’s color gamut to more closely match the output of SWOP-coated printing devices
