Chapter 4: Printing with Epson Drivers for Windows

Tip: Check the Epson Pro Imaging website at www.proimaging.epson. com for updated drivers and utilities that may become available.

Your Epson Stylus Pro 11880 comes with drivers and utilities that let you print and manage print jobs. For the best black and white photography output, the Epson printer driver offers Advanced Black and White Photo mode.

ICC profiles are included, so you can use the color management features in Adobe Photoshop or other applications, or in the driver itself. A color-managed workflow using Photoshop and a color-calibrated monitor will give you the most accurate colors and best output from your printer for color photos.

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.
