Processor speed determines how fast files will be processed through FastRIP. If your processor is
slow and the image is large and/or complex, it will take a long time for the job to be completed.
Since most graphic intensive images qualify as large and complex, we recommend you have a
fast processor. Simply stated,”e faster the processor speed, the quicker the file will print to the
printer.”
CO l O r im a g e S
e regular Epson driver for the Epson 4800 will NOT print color images correctly. To create
film positives, U.S. Screen modified the placement of ink cartridges. e Epson 4800 requires
the use of 2 ink slots for FastINK, slot # 5 (Light Black) and slot # 8 (Light Light Black). is
causes color photographs to print dark in the gray areas.

When setting up your printer, make sure the FastINK cartridge is inserted into slot #5 (Light
Black) and slot #8 (Light Light Black). If the message”Wrong Ink” displays on the Epson
4800 Control Panel, look at the white sticker on the FastINK cartridge. e top line will start
with”US....BLKD110U.” If there is not a”U” at the end of the product code, contact the Support
Department to exchange the FastINK cartridge.
