TurboPrint vs. 3.9 stock drivers?

[kgrach]

Turbo print is a must for any Amiga user
I have had every version since 2 and the upgrades were well worth the price. If you have a PPC things can really fly. I use finalwriter to print  a Postscript file and then turborpint prints the postscript file to my printer in half the time it would take finalwriter to print.

With turboprint you get true 24bit printing.
the quality is outstanding and far exceeds the print quality I get from Windows and from Linux.
I haven't purchased turboprint for linux yet.

A couple of years ago I switched from printing masters on my Amiga to Windows. People did not know what I did, But everybody complained that the image quality was nowhere near as good as it used to be. So I switched back to my Amiga and everybody was happy again.

So to answer your question YES, YES and YES.
get turboprint and you won't be sorry.

it does both depending on what your programs are sending out. It gets its speed by optimized drivers. The printer masters I was talking about where Combined text and Picture documents.
remember windows uses 12bit printer drivers dithered to 24. Turboprint uses true24 bit drivers makes a big diference on print quality.

If you have the RAM I recomend that you don't use turbospool as it really slows down your entire machine. Turbospool spools large documents to your hard drive before sending them to the printer. Turboprint also allows you to print postscript with non postscript printers. you just copy any postscript file to PS: and bingo postscript printing. Lots of options and even has the test and cleaning utilities for your Epson and HP printers. Does the mirror and negative printing options for making photo masks and T shirts and stuff real sweet.

It doesn't really matter what you want printed it all comes out great but there are lots of prefs to set. so read the documentation for opt results. The only downside of it all is you will go through lots of ink playing with all the options.
