Download DPS Source Code
DPS the "Demo Print System"
is an experimental inkjet print driver, aimed at driving an Epson
R1800 printer. The source code is licensed under the GNU General
Public License. The intention of the project is to include a
complete, state of the art printing pipeline, including a
comprehensive color management system (base on Argyll), a
calibration system, a flexible multi-level screening system, as well
as the necessary drivers for the Epson R1800 printer, including soft
weaving, and Escape P driver. Many of the intended features are
designed to make it a test bed for researching and developing color
profiling and calibration tools. Initially it is coded only for the
Epson R1800, although some view is given to generalizing the drivers
at some later stage
Currently this project is at a very early stage of development, with
only some sub-sections complete. For those interested in tracking
progress, the ZIP archive of the 0.4
release is here. This includes a working stochastic screening
system.
