Using European Driver for R2400 (American Printer?)

2007-02-17 by Johnny Eades

Last week I upgraded my laptop from Windows Home to Vista Business. I 
ran into problems using the drivers provided by Epson for my R2400 
printer, and found there were no drivers yet for Vista available. On 
a newgroup (maybe this one) a link to an Epson site in Europe had 
drivers for Vista, so I downloaded it and proceeded to use 
PrintFixPro to create a paper profile with the MIS K4 inks. After a 
week of working with them, today I found that the US Epson site had 
their drivers posted. Thinking that may be the solution to some 
posterization problems with my created profiles, I downloaded it and 
installed it. I then used one of the canned profiles provided from 
Epson for Matte Paper and saw that it was better than my created 
profile with PFP. Could my posterization problem be caused by using 
the Euro driver with a US printer, and solved by using the US driver 
with the US printer? I'll create a paper profile with PFP for Matte 
paper and see if it creates a more neutral print,the Epson canned 
profile being warm; and having done that, determine if it is better 
than the canned profile provided by Epson.
