Question about Epson 9890 and Matchprint

[macjmccoy]

Is anyone using an Epson 9890 inkjet printer with Kodak Matchprint V4.2.2? Do I have to upgrade to V5?

Enter the prooferAdmin screen, then go to the far right tab on the controller and add a new printer. Does the 9890 appear as a supported model in the list of devices?

Great! Thanks Stephen, now that I know it doesn't, I have to find out if Matchprint V5 works with Prinergy V4.2. Can anyone here answer that one? I've been trying to get a callback from Kodak for 2 weeks now and haven't gotten a response...

As a Kodak distributor, I am running the latest KPS 5.2 for MPI. When I add a new proofer in the Proofer Administrator, the 9890 does appear as a licensed option. So I am guessing that as you suspect, this is a version issue and/or perhaps it would work for your old KPS version if you were licensed for this printer. I am guessing that it is a version issue, however I can't qualify that guess.

EDIT: KPS 5.1 added support for the 4900, 7890, 9890 and WT7900 printers.


Good luck!

I am not sure on whether Prinergy v4.2 plays nice with KPS 5.2 when using direct connectivity.

KPS can also be licensed for Open Connectivity, which would let you input PDF files via hot folders independently of Prinergy.
