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

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? Keith
