The EPSON Stylus Pro 7600 and Stylus Pro 9600 use an entirely-new EPSON
photographic driver for Macintosh and Windows, allowing for complete density control even
when the driver color management feature is turned off. This standard driver also gives users
the ability to set up a Macintosh or Windows PC as a dedicated network spooler to greatly
enhance their productivity.
A wide selection of printer interfaces includes USB (compatible with 1.1 and 2.0),
IEEE 1394 FireWire®, ECP Parallel and EPSON Type-B expansion slot standard with
optional cards available for 10/100 BaseT Ethernets.
EFI Fiery Spark Professional 2.0 Software RIP
An optional Fiery Spark Professional 2.0 Adobe® PostScript® 3 Software RIP
(Raster Image Processor) with Pantone® color matching from Electronics for Imaging, Inc.
(EFI) is also available for the EPSON Stylus Pro 7600 and Stylus Pro 9600. The RIP is
designed to help maximize several of the printers’ advanced features using applications that
are engineered around the needs of graphic artists, advertising agencies, fine arts studios and
other professionals who create color composites and proofs for press runs. Standard features
with Fiery Spark Professional 2.0 include drag-and-drop hot folders for automated workflow
activities, paper simulation capabilities for advanced proofing, Spot-On technology for
managing spot colors, and one easy-to-use interface for total job management. Additional
RIPs for these printers will also be available from several other third-party manufacturers.
