Problem with an XP version of the Epson 4000 Quadtone RIP
2004-12-09 by jtriebe
I downloaded the Quadtone RIP for XP for the Epson 4000 yesterday, and installed it and ran it today. The prints produced on Epson Enhanced Matte paper looked excellent. I was anxious to do an AB comparison with my old method of making BW prints (ie., using the Epson Driver in Photoshop CS). Unfortunately, when I ran the same print, the results were terrible, much worse that prior to running Quadtone. The prints appear to be a duotone, using just the yellow and grey inks. I rechecked all my settings, tried several different prints all with the same result. I even tried shutting off the printer, and computer and rebooting without success. It's almost as though there was some internal switch that had been set in the printer, and which now cannot be reset. I'm using the latest firmware from Epson which is I0204AP. Can anyone offer advice as to what might be going wrong? Thanks in advance for any help you might provide.
