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

2002-09-16 by Editor P.O.V. Image Service

I also don't recall restricting my comments on the Mac OS 10.2/Jaguar 
drivers to the 2200...

How about this other comment from the MacEpson list:

Sounds to me like those savings are going elsewhere other than better 
drivers..  ;-)

And please don't start going on about how EPSON is a small company with 
limited resources... Seiko-Epson is one of the largest Keretsu in 
Japan... Stop trying to make them sound like a cash-short, impoverished, 
mom and pop firm.  It amazes me how a firm like EPSON cannot come out 
with drivers with better feature sets, with a wide number of engineering 
employees, and people like Ed Hamrick, as sole software engineer for 
VueScan can come out with constant updates, continually adding new 
hardware and features, while supporting Windoze, Linus, and McOS..  ;-)

I've begun to wonder if Japanese firms have some type of cultural issue 
preventing the same kind of support..  Canon and Nikon seem to have 
always had inordinately long delays between upgrades in software for 
both cameras and scanners.. (And for a someone like I, a fan of much of 
Japanese culture, making this leap takes a lot)
