#Primera Pro

Absolutely true, Michael. Do you have such a driver? At the time of
writing the review, Fargo asserted to me that they were not licensing any
3rd party developers to use the firmware on the Pro, as they did for the
original Primera. And their in-house driver was my ONLY major problem
with the machine.
If Soft-Logik has been licensed in regards to the Pro model, I only regret
AW no longer exists so that we could make that correction.

PageStream3.0f was the first version to ship with a Primera Pro custom driver,
and it's still the current version. It's not very good though because it uses
the Primera non-Pro's color values instead of the special ones for the Pro
model. We have since improved the driver to the point where it is much better
than the Preference driver and will ship the new driver with 3.0g due out in a
week. Our custom driver still isn't as good as Fargo's driver for Windows, but
that's to be expected since they could afford to spend a lot more development
time tweaking the driver.
Fargo supplied us with the info to write the custom driver. I know the info
wasn't available at first, but it was made available later.

Well, that's good news for Pro owners. My problem was that their
preferences style driver offered NO user color control over the printed
image. Whereas, with the first Primera, AdPro and Studio drivers provided
near unlimited control. Hard to spend those kind of bucks for a printer
and then not be able to wring the best image possible out of it.
