Introduction
2
Here’s what you can use the EPSON Stylus RIP for:
◗ Printing documents with placed or imported EPS images
◗ Printing from complex PostScript-based drawing and
publishing applications like Adobe Illustrator,
®
Macromedia
®
Freehand,
®
Adobe PageMaker,
®
QuarkXPress,
and CorelDRAW
™
◗ Matching PANTONE
®
spot colors
For all other printing applications, especially photography, use the
standard, non-PostScript EPSON driver. In many cases, you will
get better performance with the standard driver than with the
EPSON Stylus RIP.
Special Features
To make the most of your printer’s photo-quality output, the
EPSON Stylus RIP software includes these special features:

◗ PANTONE professional color palette files—calibrated for
your EPSON Stylus Color or EPSON Stylus Photo printer
using a variety of media at various resolutions—to give you
PANTONE colors when you use PANTONE licensed
applications
◗ Support for ColorSync
