I recently discovered Epson Print Layout application, developed by Epson of course and it is really an excellent "sort of print manager". I have been using Lightroom and Photoshop to do my printing for years. I've been using Epson printers for 30 years and I go back to the Epson wide plotter like inkjet printer when the files had to be rasterized with special software and it would take hours to print a 30X40. I am extremely busy until the past few weeks mostly due to the heavy rainfall we've had in Texas. I have had an Epson 3880 Pro for about 3 years and I printed maybe 10 photos in all that time. I decided to print a bunch of images instead of using a drop shipper. I calibrated my monitor and sample prints. Downloaded all my ICC profiles and downloaded all the updates and everything Epson had to offer. I wasn't really happy with the color and I was finding a lot out of gamut images and the Adobe products, while very good, didn't quite get where I wanted especially considering the 3880 Pro which is an outstanding printer. I came across the Epson Print Layout software and Wha-la! While I cannot do batch printing the results are fantastic. This is a relatively new program and it is much overlooked. I hope Epson will continue to develop it and expand the elements. Meanwhile, if you have an Epson printer you might download this application from Epson (it's free) and give it a try. I'm really glad I did.

Thank you! I have 2 Epson Artisans, an 800 and a 1430, I will certainly give it a try.

I could not find it at Epson. Do you have a link to it?

I googled it and looks like it only works on the "Sure Color" line of Epson printers.

I have had Epson photo printers for many, many years - I'm currently using the R3000. Epson Print Layout has always been included in the software. It's not new.

Thanks for this post. I have been fighting with Epson/Adobe for months trying to figure out how to equalize the side margins produced on my P-7000 (they are not equal although previews in both PS and LR show they are equal) whereas they are spot on on my P-800. Maybe this will be fix.

Note: Epson said they did modify the P-7000,P-8000, & P-9000 drivers and Adobe hasn't figured it out yet.

I've been using the Epson 3880 Pro for 10 years, printing thousands and thousands of images. I have no need to install anything else to print. I use Photoshop to manage the colors. I never had any issues with batch printing at all!

I have an Epson 3880 and I print from Lr. I calibrate my monitor and use correct ICC profiles. My colors are ok, but not perfect. I’m not sure what Epson Print Layout will do. And, do I then print from this rather than from Lr?

David:
I installed the software for the Epson Print Layout and I get an error message that says it cannot find the file.. (on a Mac) I have a photo up in Photoshop, and go to automate and Epson print Layout and I get the error it cannot find the file. I installed a copy inside the Plugin folder- still no luck. If I just install the program as I said, it will not work- I have the P600 and it sould work? any hints?? Thanks

Cool! I have the SureColor P800 that I love and will try the program out.

That's what it says but I am using it on an Epson 3880 Pro which has been replaced by the Sure Color P-800. My image prints have greatly improved regardless.

Call Epson. It should work.

My prints kicked up a significant notch with Print Layout. I use a Color Monki to calibrate my monitors (27" iMac and 15" MacBook Pro) plus icc profiles. I print from the application. YouTube has a couple of videos.
