Can anyone provide accurate information about 16 bit printing workflow for
Epson, Canon, HP. Been working with the new Epson drivers with 3800, 4800,
4880, 9880, as well as Canon's plug-in for 8100. From tests it seems that
the Canon PS plug-in actually shows significant increase in rendering tonal
transitions between 8 bit and 16 bit, etc. Have not seen the same results
from the new Epson drivers in Leopard (no noticeable improvement in quality
between 8 bit and 16 bit). Note- have not tested through Color Burst (or any
other RIP- just made the switch to Leopard over the summer- configuring over
50 Macs in our labs)
Gutenprint supports 16 bit input. We have preliminary
(i. e. quarter-assed) support for the 9880 in the latest beta release
(5.2.0-beta4). Full tuning and support will need someone who has
these printers to do the work.
