Epson today announced the expansion of its award-winning line of SureColor® P-Series large format printers to include three new Designer Edition configurations – the 17-inch SureColor P800, 24-inch SureColor P6000 and 44-inch SureColor P8000. The SureColor P-Series Designer Edition printers incorporate the latest Epson printer technologies with updated EFI™ Fiery® eXpress RIP software, built on Adobe® PostScript® 3 to ensure a seamless, easy-to-use workflow experience for producing outstanding creative output.
“The SureColor P-Series Designer Edition printers enable graphic designers to print the way they want with accurate results,” said Larry Kaufman, product manager, Professional Imaging, Epson America, Inc. “With true Adobe PostScript, seamless RGB and CMYK color management and nesting of files to optimize media usage, the new SureColor Designer Edition Printers offer advanced capabilities for producing unparalleled output from a broad range of applications.”
Developed for graphic designers and even advanced photographers with ease-of-use in mind, the Designer Edition printers offer accurate color matching for process color (CMYK), spot colors and RGB files. The advanced job processing includes both the Adobe CPSI and PDF print engines along with support of the PANTONE® Plus Spot Color library, ensuring compatibility printing directly from all industry standard design programs. The powerful EFI Fiery eXPress software RIP delivers all this in an easy-to-use software package with five easy ways to print, allowing creative professionals to concentrate on what they do best – design.
Five Easy Ways to Print with Designer Edition
Utilizing the updated EFI Fiery eXpress RIP software, the new Designer Edition printers produce accurate, repeatable output in a stand-alone or networked configuration of Apple and Windows PCs, with five methods to print:
· Hot Folder: Drag and drop, copy, or save a copy of a compatible file directly to the hot folder and the RIP will process the job using the current printer preferences
· Virtual Printer: The simplest way to send a job to the RIP using the current printer settings, this works directly from an application and is selected from the printer list
· Unidriver: Prints directly from the application with added controls for changing media, color and layout settings
· eXpress RIP: Print locally using the eXpress RIP software, opening a wide range of file formats, including EPS, PDF, PSD, TIFF, and JPEG
· Drag and Drop: Drag files directly to the job list for on-demand printing
