Can any of the variations of Qimage send a 10-bit image to a high end (Epson) printer?
P.S. I have used Qimage as my printer 'driver' since almost day one. Which leads me to mentioning a slight change to my e-mail address, namely:

All Windows printer drivers are 8 bits/channel so when Qimage prints something higher than 8 bits/channel (only TIFF's, PSD's, and raw photos support this), it takes the 10 bit, 12 bit, 16 bit data and pre-dithers it so that the 8 bit driver can get as much as 16 bit color.  So essentially yes: Qimage can do it.

Regards,
Mike
