- C A N O N S T U D I O
- ---------------------
-
- CanonStudio is a new program wich is intended for all Amiga Canon
- printer drivers. It does print 24/8Bit IFF graphics with up to 24
- bit accuracy in any size (Want a 100*100m poster?) . CanonStudio
- is not limited to the max. 4096 colors of the Amiga printer
- device, though it does work with nearly all Amiga printer drivers.
- The pictures are printed FROM DISK ie. you don't need much memory
- for printing a 10MByte 24 Bit graphic in high quality.
-
- CanonStudio is specialy written for the Amiga operation system and
- is not just a simple portation from an IBM or Apple computer.
- Because of this, CanonStudio makes heavily use of multitasking and
- Kickstart 2.04. CanonStudio includes a spooler wich allows you to
- specify multiple print jobs while the program is allready printing
- in background. The program does provide a nice "click-and-drag"
- userinterface.
-
- Now, here are some of the CanonStudio features:
-
- - prints IFF pictures from disk
- - does support nearly every IFF format including IFF24, HAM6,
- HAM8 and EHB.
- - does not require $&%$ MBytes memory!
- - poster function allows printing of any sized pictures
- - number of copies can be defined
- - 24/8 Bit accuracy
- - multiple jobs can be defined and printed in background
- (estimated print time and more will be displayed)
- - ink compensation does correct ink impurities
- - color adjustment (gamma, contrast, brightnes, weights,...)
- - Free defineable ordered dither routines. Following ordered
- dither matrices are allready included:
- Haltone-A, Halftone-B, Ordered-A, Ordered-B, Spiral, Horizontal,
- Vertical, Bck-Diagonal, Fwd-Diagonal
- - Three error diffusion dither routines:
- Floyd Steinberg, Jarvis, Stucki
- - Two serpentine blue noise dither routines are included:
- 30% random weight, 50% random weight
- - ARexx interface
- - font independent user interface
-
- What does CanonStudio requires:
-
- - an Amiga with at least Kickstart/Workbench 2.04
- - ~300KB memory (yep, that's all!)
- - a Canon printer driver:
- - CanonBJ130 V11.1 (Fish 696 and Canon)
- - CanonBJ10 V4 (Fish 696 and Canon)
- - CanonBJ300 V4.1 (Fish 696 and Canon)
- - CanonLBP V3 (Canon, Version 1 on Fish 4xx)
- - CanonBJC V.99d (new, see message that follows)
- (supports Epson 24 and 48 pin emulation! Epson24Plus and
- Star24Plus user should switch!!!)
