Adding Spot Color and Overlay and other optionsneeded for EPSON drivers..?

2002-09-15 by Editor P.O.V. Image Service

How many here think it would be really nice if the EPSON drivers had a
built in spot color option, as well as an overlay print option..?

Since Andrew Rodney has said that EPSON IS saving money by NOT
DISTRIBUTING the grey-balancer in the US , that they can  then use for
better drivers, I think those two features are conspicuous in their
absence...  Their existence in the driver for my old ALPs make it much
more useful than it otherwise might be..

I would think these features should be up on the list with being able to
print multiple (different) images as part of a single print job without
having to lay them out as a group in PhotoShop first...

Obviously, working Jaguar drivers would be nice too.. ;-)

Since EPSON consultants are saying they saved the money associated with
the grey-balancer to use on the drivers, I think we need to come up with
a Christmas list of driver needs... AND since the US market is paying
for this, the features should be tailored to US market needs  BEFORE
Japanese home-market needs/desires are considered...

Thoughts?  other feature needs?

How about the ability to purge colors individually?  It certainly isn't
a hardware obstacle, since they can clearly address individual
inkjets... Why do we have to waste ink, purging EVERY color, when one
color clogs?
