iProof-X 1.0

Have an Epson Ink Jet printer without an OS X 10.2 Jaguar driver? iProof-X and iProof-X LF v1.0 is your solution to get your print colors to match your monitor.

The iProof-X and iProof-X LF Direct Print Driver for Epson Ink Jet Printers are non-PostScript drivers designed to be used with Apples OS X 10.2 or later. The iProof-X Driver allows you to print high quality color images and text using ICC profiles designed specifically by iProof Systems for over 55 Epson Ink Jet printers. Unlike free drivers, iProof-X contains ICC color profiles for each paper type and resolution. Shareware software may require multiple print tries to get color right.

iProof-X also comes standard with iProofs custom PPDs for all the Epson Ink Jet printers supported. At the time of print, when selecting the media type and resolution, the custom ICC profiles are automatically selected for the resolution and media type you selected. The combination of iProofs custom ICC profiles and printer specific PPDs allows you to print high quality images and smooth crisp text.

It should be noted the present combination of CUPS and Apples OS X 10.2 requires some applications to print files to PDF and then print the PDFs from the application Preview that comes as part of Apples OS 10.2 software. The Apple Preview Ver. 1.0 can view and print multi page documents such as PDFs, tiff, jpeg, gif, pict, png and others. It is anticipated, in the near future, that Apple will be releasing an update to OS 10.2 to accommodate direct printing from all applications. Until such time as an update is available from Apple, the following applications cannot do a direct print to a CUPS based print solution and must be saved as PDFs and then printed from Preview. A partial list of these applications are as follows: QuarkXPress, PageMaker, FreeHand, Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Adobe Acrobat and Apple Works.

Microsoft Office and Internet pages can print directly to the iProof-X driver, without going to PDF.
