Aimed at professional photographers and graphic designers, PrinTao 8 from LaserSoft Imaging is a new, Mac-only tool that’s fine-tuned for optimized printing with a specific class of printers, and it can also save you paper and ink. The software exploits all the capabilities of the native printer driver, so when you use PrinTao 8, you don’t have to first learn about RIPs, CMYK-to-RGB conversions, and other tasks that typically belong to PostScript/PDF printing.
