DESCRIPTION
This is a standard ("Preferences") Amiga printer driver for Stylus
Color inkjet printer from Epson. It features resolutions up to
720x720 dpi, with optional MicroWeave printing (an Epson feature
that uses overlapping passes to reduce banding). Resolutions are
selected by the Preferences density setting:
Density 1 180x180
Density 2 360x180
Denisty 3 360x360
Denisty 4 360x360, MicroWeave
Denisty 5 720x720
Density 6 720x720, MicroWeave
Density 7 720x720, MicroWeave (identical to Denisty 6)
The driver implements horizontal and verical whitespace stripping,
as well as Epson compression mode 2 ("TIFF v4.0 packbits mode") to
minimize the amount of data that must be sent to the printer and
improve printing speed. A beta tester reported speed on an Amiga
3000 comperable to that of a 66MHz 486 with Epson's MS-Windows
driver.
The driver implements a very simple color correction for 720dpi
modes to prevent them from printing excessively dark. This gives
results similar to other drivers on the same printer (for example,
the PageStream 2.x LQ2550C driver). We are investigating a future
update with improved color correction, which will provide more
accurate colors and better gradation.

- Workbench 1.3 or higher.
- An Epson Stylus Color printer (of course).

OTHER
The driver takes advantage of Stylus Color features not present
on older ESC-P2 printers, such as compression mode 2 (packbits).
Because of this it will not work on previous Stylus printer models.
