Installing EPSON Stylus RIP for Macintosh 5. Follow the on-screen instructions, then click Quit when prompted to finish the installation. 6. Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each client Macintosh that will print with EPSON Stylus RIP over the network. Caution: Once you've installed the EPSON Stylus RIP Client software, don't move, modify, or delete any of the files or folders that were created on your hard disk, or the software may not work. Color Matching During the EPSON Stylus RIP installation, ICC (International Color Consortium) profiles for ColorSync 2.x support, press simulation profiles, and the PANTONE color table for your printer are automatically installed on your system. These tools allow your printer to work with the other components of your color management system. Press Simulations The EPSON Stylus RIP press simulation profiles allow you to output CMYK-defined colors that approximate SWOP and other standard colors on your EPSON printer. When simulating a press run with the Press Simulation feature, your printer's wide color gamut will be reduced to more closely simulate the gamut of SWOP and other printing devices. However, your EPSON printer is designed for color comping only, and not color proofing. Even with the press simulation feature, true color accuracy is not possible with your EPSON printer and the RIP. 1-9

Installing EPSON Stylus RIP for Macintosh
5.
Follow the on-screen instructions, then click
Quit
when
prompted to finish the installation.
6.
Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each client Macintosh that
will print with EPSON Stylus RIP over the network.
Caution:
Once you’ve installed the EPSON Stylus RIP Client software, don’t
move, modify, or delete any of the files or folders that were created
on your hard disk, or the software may not work.
Color Matching
During the EPSON Stylus RIP installation, ICC (International
Color Consortium) profiles for ColorSync 2.x support, press
simulation profiles, and the PANTONE color table for your
printer are automatically installed on your system. These tools
allow your printer to work with the other components of your
color management system.
Press Simulations
The EPSON Stylus RIP press simulation profiles allow you to
output CMYK-defined colors that approximate SWOP and
other standard colors on your EPSON printer. When
simulating a press run with the Press Simulation feature, your
printer’s wide color gamut will be reduced to more closely
simulate the gamut of SWOP and other printing devices.
However, your EPSON printer is designed for color comping
only, and not color proofing. Even with the press simulation
feature, true color accuracy is not possible with your EPSON
printer and the RIP.
