Title: Can an Epson Pro 3880 provide 16bit output?
Post by: greyscale on January 09, 2010, 07:54:06 PM
Am trying to find information regarding printing 16 bit output from an Epson Pro 3880 using  LR and CS4 using Windows 7. Im aware that the printer can provide 16 bit on an Apple system such as SL. The Epson driver for Apple provides a checkbox for 16 bit output. However, there is no such box in the Windows Vista 64 driver. Is it possible such a box shows up in Windows 7? If the printer can do 16 bit on an Apple, seems to me, it should be able to do likewise in Windows 7???. ???
I have read Mike Chaneys rant re: Windoz 7, and wonder If he uses a 16 bit capable printer in Windows 7? That is if Mike has gotten 7 to print for him??.
Thanks for any help.

FIW, just recieved this from Epson Tech support.

Why no 16 bit ouput in Windows 7 for this printer? Is a new driver for Windows 7

Thank you for taking the time to contact Epson. It is my pleasure to respond to your inquiry. Unfortunately there is no driver nor a driver in the works for Windows using 16 bit output.

Should you require further assistance with this issue, please reply without history (when possible), as our email system contains all previous correspondence. If you have a different technical support issue, please submit another email request via our website (http://www.epson.com/support), and we will respond in a timely manner.

Thank you again for contacting Epson.
