Re: [Digital BW] Piezo and MIS VM?

2002-06-28 by Martin Wesley

Ooops! The Piezo PLUG-IN only supports:

The EPSON 860, 980, 1160, 1200, 1280, 1290, and 3000.

for the 7000, 7500, 9000 and 9500 ConeTech offers their RIP.

The R9 plug-in lists the supported printers as:

EPSON 860, 980, 1160, 1200, 1280, 1290 and 3000

The same as Piezo.
