GT-782 Cookbook: Tour to Printer Driver 1:

********* Learn More, Print Better *********

The printer driver is a bridge between the PC and printer. It receives the bitmap image data from the application software, e.g. Photoshop and CorelDRAW, makes the print data and sends it to the printer, which plays a very important role because you can never print without it. Any printer needs a printer driver in the controlling PC. The GT-782 printer driver follows the user-friendly interface from the GT-541 printer driver, and it is the best solution for T-shirt printing of any color. Pay attention to those settings to have better quality prints.

What's Printer Driver?
Printer driver works for converting the "light" Red/Green/Blue values of colors, which you see in the monitor, into the "ink" Cyan/Magenta/Yellow/blacK values to re-create the image by printing objects. Explaining by using specific terms, it receives bitmap data and converts its RGB (three primary colors of colored light) into CMYK (three primary colors of ink plus black) print data.
