The Epson Stylus Pro line of printing solutions is expanding with a wider selection of Designer Edition bundles that combine Epson Stylus Pro printers with EFI eXpress for Epson Software RIP.

These bundles are engineered to solutions for professional graphic designers and photographers, enabling them to print their creative visions as they see them. The Epson Stylus Pro 4900 Designer Edition is now joined by the Epson Stylus Pro 3880, 7890 and 9890 Designer Editions. The combination of these printers and the EFI eXpress for Epson RIP gives users the ability to create color accurate CMYK comps, proofs, and mockups, alongside RGB photographs.

The software includes spot color support with embedded libraries for DIC, HKS, PANTONE, and Toyo, ensuring accurate color production out of the box. True Adobe interpreters allow for complete compatibility with the latest design suites on a Mac or PC.

In addition, users can work the way that suits them best by printing directly from the application, importing or dragging and dropping on to the RIP interface, or by sending files from a single computer or in a networked group to hot folders. Full support is included for all Epson proofing, packaging, photographic, and fine art media, with the ability for the user to add new CMYK or RGB profiles for additional media types.

All four Epson Stylus Pro Designer Edition bundles are now available through authorized Epson Professional Graphics resellers at the following manufacturer's suggested retail prices with additional mail-in rebate offers:

° Epson Stylus Pro 3880 (17-inch) Designer Edition -- $1,495 ($1,195 after $300 mail-in rebate);
