Drivers
- Epson-SureColor-P5000
- Epson-SureColor-P5000-managed
Info
- Both drivers can be used with the same printer
- The "managed" driver was developed in V14.1 to allow users to print faster in sheet mode. However, this driver has the limitation of not supporting the reprinting of jobs neither from the printer nor from the RIP so we recommend using it only if your production requires it.
- The "managed" driver does not replace the first driver, which means that it also requires importing the P5000 profiles into the driver and configuring them correctly.
