July 18, 2008: Epson has released 16-bit printer drivers for the Apple Macintosh OS X Leopard operating system for its Stylus Pro printer range.
The new 16-bit printer drivers take full advantage of Apple’s OS X architecture and printing window and allow Epson’s Stylus Pro printers to be integrated into a 16-bit workflow. More colour information is translated through to the printer as 16-bit processing traces the original image data with a higher frequency than 8-bit processing, enabling highly accurate colour transitions and gradations in all prints. Images can be faithfully reproduced from Adobe Photoshop CS3 with smoother gradations and greater image detail.
Available for Epson’s Stylus Pro 3800, Stylus Pro 4880, Stylus Pro 7880, Stylus Pro 9880, and Stylus Pro 11880, the new 16-bit printer drivers are compatible with virtually any application software for an end-to-end 16-bit workflow. They can be downloaded free of charge from the Epson Pro Graphics web site: http://www.epson.com.au/prographics/.
