PrinTao 8 supports a number of Epson printers in the Stylus Photo and Stylus Pro series, ranging from desktop models like the Stylus Photo R2880 and R3000 through the Stylus Pro 3880, 4880 and 4900 through to stand-alone models in the Stylus Pro 7*** and 9*** ranges. It also supports the following file formats: *.jpg, *.tif, *.gif, *.bmp, *.ico, *.png, *.psd, *.sgi, *.tga, *.xbm and *.sgi. The software is offered in four editions to cater for different printers, as shown in the table below. All have the same functionality.

A purchased PrinTao 8 license is not linked to a particular person or to a specific computer. This means, the software can be installed on any number of Macs, but can be used on only one computer at a time.

SilverFast has a printing function called PrinTao; However, PrinTao 8 (PT8) is a completely new, redeveloped application from the bottom up. Users of SilverFast will not find a good part of PT8’s functionality in SilverFast. Only the name is about the same. Designed for professional use, the SureColor P800 is a full 17-inch wide borderless printer with unique Epson® MicroPiezo® AMCTM printhead technology.

PrinTao 8 has a similar GUI to LaserSoft’s Silverfast products, with a Start-Pilot that lets users select the printer model, paper type and size as well as output quality with a few mouse clicks. Its colour management focuses upon accuracy and performance and takes full advantage of the available colour gamut. The PrinTao 8 Media Manager uses a constantly updated online database to manage and install paper profiles. Pre-designed templates facilitate the creation of print layouts and allow multiple copies of an image to be created in different sizes on the print medium. An intelligent nesting algorithm calculates the optimum arrangement to keep paper usage to a minimum.
