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.
