IP5 /2200/ firewire/Win2000/ +papers profiled?
2002-12-04 by jim hayes
Actually two questions. I'll be getting IP5 Friday but unfortunately John (and tech support) are away currently. So for those that have done it on Windows 2000: 1) The online colorbyte quickstart instructions (which mention 7600 but not 2200 btw) stress that the Epson driver file EPFWP.INF must be loaded for firewire. This file, um, doesn't exist, neither on the Epson CD or the download Epson page for 2200. Is this a non-issue for 2200? 2) Must one load the entire Epson driver first? Or at least somehow load the status monitor to keep track of ink, if it will load without Epson driver first? Or does IP5 have a way of tracking ink level, and doing cleaning cycles, alignment, etc? 3) Colorbyte was unable to tell me what papers they currently have profiled, that they get asked this a lot and simply have never compiled a list. Seems odd to me, I'd like to gather up a few sheets of stuff that are already profiled. Can anyone tell me if the following papers are profiled? Inkjetart Micro Ceramic Luster Epson Premium Luster Photo Epson Premium Semi-Gloss Pictorio Pro Photo Gallery Hi gloss White Film Hahnemule Photo Rag 308 gsm Somerset PE Velvet and Textured Eclipse Satine BW 190 gsm (I'd use this one a lot) Evenutually I'll be able to ask tech support I guess or figure it out when I get IP5. Nice to know before hand so I can go ahead and load Epson driver if needed and get paper. TIA, Jim H.
