99 Chapter 4: Printing with Epson Drivers for Windows Your Stylus Pro 7800 or 9800 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. Tip: Check the Epson Pro Graphics website at http://prographics.epson. com for updated drivers and utilities that may become available. This chapter includes the following information: • Choosing basic print options • Choosing paper and layout options • Choosing advanced print options • Managing print jobs 99
