Introduction/Installation For a default or PowerRIP 3.1 client installation, the PSPrinter driver is copied to the System Extensions folder, and the PostScript Printer Description (PPD) files are copied to the Printer Descriptions subfolder of the System Extensions folder. PSPrinter is a PostScript level 2 driver; it can be used in place of a LaserWriter driver version 8.0 or later. When printing to PowerRIP with a level 2 driver, you should first use the Chooser to select the PPD file matching the supported PowerRIP EPSON imaging device.

The profiles represent the Stylus Pro and Stylus Pro XL printers at 360 dpi on EPSON coated stock, 720 dpi on EPSON coated stock, and 720 dpi on EPSON high gloss stock. When using these profiles with applications that support ColorSync 2.0, choose the Print Menu option 'Application Defined" under Color Calibration. This gives the application the ability to convert RGB colors to a calibrated standard such as CIE based ABC. ColorSync 2.0 and the ICC profiles are designed to work with RGB colors and not CMYK colors. Files saved as CMYK colors as not affected by ColorSync 2.0 and PowerRIP defined color calibration.

Introduction/Installation
For a default
or PowerRIP
3.1
client
installation, the PSPrinter driver is copied to
the System Extensions folder, and the PostScript Printer Description (PPD) files are
copied to the Printer Descriptions subfolder of the System Extensions folder.
PSPrinter is a PostScript level 2 driver; it can be used in place of a LaserWriter
driver version
8.0
or later. When printing to PowerRIP with a level 2 driver, you
should first
use
the Chooser to select the PPD file matching the supported
PowerRIP EPSON imaging device.
ColorSync™
2.0
Disk
5
of the PowerRIP installation package contains the ICC profiles required by
ColorSync
2.0.
These profiles Should be placed in the Preferences sub-folder inside
the System Folder. The profiles represent the Stylus Pro and Stylus Pro XL printers
at 360
dpi
on EPSON coated stock, 720
dpi
on EPSON coated stock, and
720
dpi
on EPSON high gloss stock.
When using these profiles with applications that support ColorSync 2.0,
choose
the
Print Menu option ‘Application Defined” under Color Calibration. This gives the
application the ability to convert
RGB
colors to a calibrated standard such as CIE
based
ABC. ColorSync 2.0 and the ICC profiles are designed to work with
RGB
colors and not CMYK colors. Files
saved as
CMYK colors as not affected by
