Matt O'Donnell gave an excellent presentation at our evening with Epson in November 2003.
These are the links he has provided which contain a wealth of useful information.

Below are Apple KnowledgeBase documents describing how to install and setup

Some funny references to User Groups etc. but a good overall view on digital printing.

Further information can be found at http://www.wilhelm-research.com . Highly recommended. There are many articles from the Wilhelm site and you'll probably find them very interesting eg:

http://www.wilhelm-research.com/pdf/Corbis_WashPost_Low_Res.pdf
Article on Corbis and the archiving of the Bettman collection. Fascinating. The issue of film and print deterioration is not new!
