</A> 2. Welcome to TurboPrint 2!</H1>
<P class="western">We are happy to welcome you as a user of our
TurboPrint printing system!</P>
<P class="western">TurboPrint 2 makes printing on the Linux OS much more
comfortable. It offers many possibilities to adjust printouts to your
needs and to get the best possible print quality!</P>
<P class="western">Printing with Linux could be rather frustrating: no
driver might be available for your printer, print quality is low,
colors are not correct – or the printer does not react at all and you
don't even get an error message!</P>
<P class="western">Much better with TurboPrint: Its printer status
monitor informs on printer activity – including detailed error
messages, if necessary – and also displays ink usage and remaining ink
capacity.</P>

<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">No need to adjust
settings like gamma, color saturation, color balance etc. Simply choose
your printer, paper type and print quality – the rest is done by
TurboPrint's intelligent printer drivers (of course expert users can
control all settings manually).</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">Our drivers support
nearly all features of your printer like special print media, CD/DVD
printing on certain printers, photo inks and highest print resolution.</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-western"><B>Color management</B></P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">A highlight of
TurboPrint 2 is the new integrated color management – it is easy to use
and ensures perfect colors. You can choose the document color space,
adjust the light source and correct color & grey balance. The "Studio"
version of TurboPrint also supports CMYK proof prints with exact
colors.</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">Using the color
profiles that are included with TurboPrint (and additional color
profiles either from ZEDOnet's profiling service or your own ICC
profiles) each shade of color is perfectly matched in the printout.</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">It is also possible to
add ICC profiles for your scanner or digital camera for perfect color
matching from your input device to printer output!</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-western"><B>Printer status monitor</B></P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">Be always informed on
what your printer is doing. TurboPrint 2 comes with a new printer
status monitor that continually shows printer status, remaining ink and
print jobs – even over a network connection, if the printer is attached
to a Linux printer server where TurboPrint is installed.</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">
</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-western"><B>Panel applet</B></P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">An optional panel
applet informs on printer warnings & errors and offers quick access to
TurboPrint's status monitor and control center.</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-western"><B>Print preview</B></P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">When printing documents
(e.g. from a web browser) the printout is often quite different from
what you see on the screen. Use TurboPrint's preview feature to see
what the prints will look like, thus minimizing waste of ink and paper.</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-western"><B>Manual duplex printing</B></P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">Only few printers
feature an automatic duplex unit to print on both sides of the paper.
With TurboPrint every printer can print duplex! If the "manual duplex"
feature is activated, TurboPrint will first print all odd pages of a
document. Then the user is informed to reverse the paper stack and
TurboPrint will print all even pages.</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-western"><B>Color profiling service</B></P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">Using our profiling
service you can further improve print quality – especially if you are
using compatible ink cartridges or print media that are not directly
supported by our drivers. We create individual color profiles at a very
affordable price – no expensive hard- & software is required!</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">TurboPrint can print a
color chart page with approx. 700 color patches. The ZEDOnet profiling
service will measure the color chart with a spectrophotometer and send
you an individual color profile by e-mail.</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">With an individual
color profile, color reproduction becomes more accurate. It also
ensures the best print quality on third party paper and ink.</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-western"><B>Ink management</B></P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">TurboPrint not only
matches document colors to printed colors, it also allows you to
control the mix of inks applied to the paper. TurboPrint's intelligent
ink saving mode can reduce ink consumption by 25-50% without producing
pale looking pictures. This is done by limiting the maximum amount of
ink used in saturated colors and by using more black ink in dark areas
instead of mixing dark shades with color inks. With photo printers,
TurboPrint can also reduce photo ink consumption and use the darker
(and more economic) regular inks instead.</P>
<P class="aufzählung-1-fortsetzung-western">On the first glance you
won’t even notice the difference!</P>
