TurboPrint & PrintFab

Hello Alex, in the PrintFab driver for the Epson ET-2850, the setting Transparency prints with "composite black" = Cyan+Magenta+Yellow. Please select "Paper"="Epson Matte Heavy" instead, this media setting will cause pigmented black ink to be used instead. The ET-2850 p...

Hello, the "system error 79:04" may occur when printing at the highest resolution (2400dpi). Printing at 300-1200dpi should work.

Please let me know if this solves the problem.

Hello Johnny, after the end of the trial a "TurboPrint" logo is printed on the page, so you can only use it for testing, not for real prints.

Hello cabezon37, often new security mechanisms of new macOS versions require adaptions in PrintFab, thus older PrintFab versions often cannot be used on the latest macOS release. You will probably need an update for using PrintFab on Catalina or Big Sur. Note that an update of your license key allow...

Hello Kees,

if you select "multi black" and enable three inks, the inks will be printed 33/33/33 percent. Currently there is no way to change this .

PrintFab bypasses all Epson driver software, the Epson driver doesn't interfere with the halftoning.

If you are printing pre-halftoned black-and-white images, I recommend to set "Halftone Screen Mode"="Single Black (no halftone)" (or "All Black (no halftone)" for an all black cartridge set). This is a new option that was introduced in PrintFab 2.97-4. The setting "...

Hello victorgv,

the R1900 driver in TurboPrint and PrintFab has a length limit of 129 inches (327cm) - is that length enough for your purposes? This limit can be extended by changing a config file, let me know if you need to produce longer prints.

Hello, I just answered by email: Auto-Select The setting "Auto-Select" is something that macOS adds (and that the PrintFab driver cannot remove), this setting is a "duplicate" of the setting "Automatic Feed" which means the automatic sheet feeder at the top of the print...

Hello, we have not yet tested the TM-200 - probably it will work with the TM-300 driver but we do not know if there are any other differences besides the smaller printing width. If you are interested, you can just download the free 30-day trial version of PrintFab. It works without any limitations f...

I have just answered by email:

The wrong printer driver has been selected ("Epson Stylus Pro" which is a very old printer).

Please open the "PrintFab Toolbox", delete the printer entry and add it again, this time select the printer driver "Epson Stylus Pro 9800".

Hello,

you could try the TurboPrint driver "Epson EcoTank ET-3700" as a replacement driver. If you try this driver, please le me know if it works.

Hello, most of the files that you sent look good, the log file that should contain the relevant information to solve the problem is /var/log/print.log but it is empty, so it looks as if the TurboPrint driver was never executed. In this case the file /var/log/cups/error_log should contain error messa...
