Drivers for the following printer models have been added: Epson(R) GS6000, HP Designjet(R) L65500, Seiko ColorPainter H-104S, Canon(R) iPF605 & iPF720, and Graphtec(R) Signjet 500.

Drivers for the following color devices have been added: Spectro Swing from Barberi, which supports both sheet-fed swatches and backlit and clear film media.

New Dot Pattern Produces Smoother Images and Enables Greater Ink Cost Savings

Included in all Version 7.2 software packages is a new dot pattern, "FDRP Enhanced," a new error diffusion dot pattern that produces finer, smoother output, especially in printers with "fixed-dot" modes. The results are most apparent in critical areas such as flesh tones and solid fill areas. FDRP Enhanced enables users to print at lower resolutions, thereby using less ink without compromising image quality.
