You can get even better results through the optional EFI Fiery Spark PostScript RIP Server software. The Stylus Pro 10600 is versatile not only in printing capabilities, but also in connection options. It comes standard with USB, parallel, 10/100 BaseT Ethernet, and two FireWire (IEEE 1394) ports. USB or FireWire generally provides the best results. You can share the Stylus Pro 10600 via a host computer on your network.
