8. Installing & Using Printer Driver for Mac OSX 10.2.8 to 10.3.x

Please note: Before starting this part of the set up process, we recommend you turn OFF

all Screen Savers when installing your software and printing to your DTG Kiosk™. This

section of the manual applies to Mac OSX 10.2.8 to 10.3.x users only, while the previous

two sections apply to Windows and Mac OS 8.6 to 9.2 users. If you have any problems

installing the Printer Drivers or getting your graphics program to connect with the Printer

Drivers, please call the Support Department at ImpressionTechnology for help.

In your DTG Kiosk package you received the Epson 2100/2200 Printer Driver CDs for both

Windows and Mac applications. You need to install the driver CD for Mac OSX 10.2.8 – 10.3.x. to

operate the printer. Once it is installed you can print from almost any graphics software

program, such as Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe InDesign, Quark Express, Corel

Draw and Macromedia Freehand. At some time in the future you may need to update your

printer driver and you can do this by logging on to the Epson website:

http://tech.epson.com.au . Follow the links to the Printer Drivers section where you can

download the latest drivers.

Once you have installed the printer driver you can create custom print modes which will allow

you to print bright and strong colours and photorealistic images onto textile items. On the

following pages there are instructions for creating these custom print modes.

8.2 Custom Printing Modes

 Print Resolution

You can print at resolutions from 360dpi to 2880dpi with the Epson 2100/2200. 360dpi is a high

speed, acceptable print resolution for most textile printing as long as the Print Heads are in

perfect alignment and that the print nozzles are not blocked. Any problems with alignment or

blocked nozzles will show up as horizontal streaks or bands every few centimetres on the

printed image.
