Re: [colorvision_group] Re: RGB Driven Color Printers?

2006-04-11 by John Vitollo

If your are asking if PrintFIX PRO will make CMYK profiles then the answer
is no. 

You can print CMYK files using a PrintFIX PRO RGB paper profile using the
Epson driver.

The Epson driver is expecting an RGB file but converts it to "CMYK" to fire
the inks. 

If a CMYK file is sent to the Epson printer it converts it first to an RGB
file then back to CMYK before printing.
