Compatible with Epson SureColor^® P-Series printers², Epson Print Layout is the ideal solution for enthusiast and professional photographers looking to create the highest quality photos easily.

"One of the biggest hurdles with printing photos is locating and selecting the correct settings in the operating system, application and driver software," said Eddie Murphy, marketing specialist, Epson America, Inc. "With Epson Print Layout we wanted to simplify printing by bringing all of the settings into one location, laid out in a step-by-step process. And, listening to requests from photographers, we've added the ability to live preview their images when using Advanced Black-and-White Photo Mode." 

Epson Print Layout is available as an Adobe^® Photoshop^® plug-in or standalone application for Windows and Mac based operating systems.

"I'm now able to target and control different tonal areas of an image, non-destructively, and extract fine details from my black-and-white prints that I've previously been unable to print.
