Title: Epson 16-bit driver?

Is there any 16-bit printer Windows driver for Epson 7800 available?
Would greatly appreciate any information.

Thanks,

ImagePrint is 16 bit processing depth of image data. The screens are also high bit which has merit in the quality output of IP.

Neil, thanks for the info. Do you know if there is a visible difference in ImagePrint output vs Epson printer driver in terms of rendering the gradients where the number of bits would matter?
Thanks

Yes actually there is a lot more shadow detail with IPV6+7 over the regular driver. The screening is also in many people's view superior. If someone here has time to make you a few small samples that would be the best way to see. I don't have an Epson yet, so I can't.
