Epson 9880 print driver and Nexus

[kev234]

Does anyone know if the Epson 9880 uses the same print driver as the Epson 9600 or Epson 9800? We currently run Nexus workflow and have a Epson 9600 connected to it, since there is no release yet for the Epson 9900 was wondering if we can just download a driver for the 9880. Are looking to buy a 9880 and want to make sure there are no issues that I'm not seeing.

The 9800 and 9880 drivers are different. Please feel free to give us a call if you would like to discuss further.

Happy Printing!

Re: Epson 9880 print driver and Nexus

Clarification: You're using a RIP, correct? You will probably find that the 9800 can be driven by a 9880 driver and vice versa, as the printers are extremely similar, the main difference being the magenta ink. Check with the RIP manufacturer and do some testing. Even if the printer can be driven you may find that the magenta maximum density may be wrong. As far as the 9600 and 9900, these are utterly different printers, from each other, and from the 9800/880, and require their own drivers, at least a driver from the same "family": 7600/9600, or 7900/9900.
