I really believe you need to start a new thread Mr. Smile, or ask these type of particular questions on a Linux forum dedicated to Gutenprint. First we are talking about printing in Windows not Linux, Photoshop not whatever image software you are using and we are using WinGP not the wutenprint...

Here's the first installment of ink limiting.

I am going to only talk about using this particular compile of Gutenprint (ie WinGP/PhotoGP). Also, all my references will be from exporting from the Adobe Photoshop series of software. I will be explaining about the different methodologies in determining ink limits and how to establish...

The installing of wutenprint appears to be for use with GIMP only. It also makes some registry changes that corrupt the use of Gutenprint using the method I explained to install it. It appears the registry changes take precedent over the environment settings and cause the spooler to fail (ie...

I did not know that someone else was compiling Gutenprint for Windows. Perhaps you could try wutenprint and start a thread on your experience with it. Now, which part of getting this version of Gutenprint "installed" is troubling you? I thought my instructions and images in the PDF were clear...

Here's the latest version of the WinGP manual. Even though the file size is getting larger, I elected to put them all together because they are all part of the "getting started" section. I'll work on a different method of making pdfs for file size reduction. I use both the OEM printer drivers...

So it works with Essentials?...... I had forgot that the install of wingp_526 had some presets that the author had left in when he posted it. They are pretty useless to you except as examples as how things get set up. Deleting them requires editing the "printrc" file which I'll cover in my...

I've added several more pages to the WinGP manual. I included all that I have done so far. After this, I will only include newer pages to keep file sizes down. I'm making this up on the fly, so bear with me and my dyslexic keyboard. (It doesn't spell very good either). :-) Maury

All the math required for drop sizes is done in the software for Epsons. I know Gutenprint has 1 dither algorithm that supports up to 3 sizes. The drop sizes are pre-configured but are a variable that can be modified. Canons, on the other hand, have more routines built into the printer...

I started a new thread in the Printing Photos and software section on Gutenprint. It covers the installation. More later. Maury

I have been asked to make up a tutorial for using this printer driver (RIP). Actually this is for the Windows compile of Gutenprint and it's use with Photoshop. Here's a "getting started" PDF so you can install and at least get it functioning. I'll continue sharing what I know as long as...

So, am I seeing enough initial interest in Gutenprint RIP that we should start a new topic just for this? There are a few anomalies in the latest compile that I could explain and perhaps make up some getting started instructions so your first attempt isn't disastrous. I'm new at forum software...

Epson's been undergoing some internal re-configuring in the later set of printers. Remember, it all dates back to the old dot matrix commands. We're lucky that Epsons are kind of dumb on the inside and rely on software to do all the magic. I have an Epson 3520 that's wasn't on the list so I...

If you are on the cheap, like I am, then Gutenprint or WinGP (for Windows) works very well. It has allowed me to reconfigure my Epson 2400 to my needs. I sacrificed the 2 grays for having both matte and glossy blacks installed and a gloss optimizer channel with no switching out. The software...

In my earlier Googling for information about neutrals, I found many using this scenario. I "think" this is why the "-N nemphasis" came about. How far the default distribution of patches is "tainted" by the -N parameter is not know by me but this way it isn't. You need to know how far away the...

As an alternative to your approach, I find manually adding a fixed set of gray and near neutral gray patches to my ti1 file quite acceptable. I first make up my targen with the default 4 white and black patches with no gray (-G) and using a pre-profile. Then I add this set to the ti1 file...

I experimented with the MIS Ultratone carbon inkset in my Epson 1400 several years ago. I was printing on Red River gloss and cotton "art" paper. The inkset had a black (kinda black), 2 warm and 2 cool inks along with the gloss optimizer. Definitely needed the G.O. on glossy papers. I used...

I've been running an Epson R2400 with a different ink configuration for a couple of years. Not really doing much black and white work, I removed the 2 grays and installed the other black and a gloss optimizer channel. It fits what I print nicely. I have to use a RIP because of this...

I'm lucky enough to enjoy all the aspects of photgraphy and it's reproductive arts. I print both photographs and computer generated graphics, and do some letterpress work. Most of what I do is smaller than A4 size. I do a lot of smaller photos some with text, ie. prayer or inspirational...
