- I also purchased an Epson stylus color II. Print Quality is very good,
- the black ink on normal paper is razor-sharp. The color-ink seems to
- prefer the glossy-type paper.
- Everything very nice ... so far !
- BUT: I was disappointed that there was no documentation included about
- what ESC/P-code you have to send to the printer to do all the nice
- things ....
- Also the callibration procedure (allign uniderectional printing,
- allign color-heads to black head etc ...) can only be done with the PC
- or MAC ....
- I could find no explanation how to set/change these values in the
- manuals ...
- I looked up Epsons home page http://www.epson.com/ and found the
- support-page.
- Trying to submit a message I got the requester : specify PC or MAC
- .... grrrr
- Anyway maybe someone of us makes the efforts and writes some software
- for this excellent printer. With some digging I think one should be
- able to get a esc/p-explanation for this printer, maybe even some
- sources for the mac or pc prgs ...
- lets hope ...
- if somebody has some more experience, let me know ...
