Sorcerer : Single Source Driver Development Toolkit

Reduce your development overhead and deliver high-quality drivers to market before your competition using the Sorcerer Driver Development Toolkit's "engineer once, build many" approach to multi-OS driver development.

Wide Device Support

Sorcerer is used by printer driver developers to create an advanced printing system that supports any raster printing device. The following technologies benefit from the high speed and industry leading quality delivered by a Sorcerer printer driver:

		Inkjet printers
		Dye-sublimation devices
		Raster-based lasers

Cost Efficient And Customized

Sorcerer is a highly efficient Single Source Development Environment (SSDE) solution for OEM developers who need to enable sophisticated and consistent printer driver technology. Combining the cost benefits of a data driven "universal" printer driver with the power and flexibility of a custom built driver, OEMs may deliver printer drivers for multiple operating systems, that compete with the best in the market, without requiring long and costly development schedules.

In addition Software Imaging can also provide custom development solutions built to meet the required driver specification.

70 Million Drivers Shipped

Maximum flexibility combined with fast, efficient development provides the solid foundation of a Sorcerer development. The families of driver emitters simply plug into a Sorcerer development, thereby enabling final raster printer drivers to be created for the target operating systems.

The raster drivers produced from the family of PrintMagic™ emitters are based upon technology that delivers maximum quality and performance. With over 70 million drivers shipped, PrintMagic has a pedigree that is second to none.

Quality and Color Assured

Sorcerer provides support for a wide variety of platforms including Apple's current generation of Intel-based systems. This dynamic environment is best illustrated where an OEM has created a Windows based driver. If the OEM subsequently decides that there is a market for a Macintosh OS X driver, the development team can simply regenerate and compile a new driver for OS X. Quality and color fidelity are assured as Sorcerer uses a single set of calibration data, regardless of the target operating system.
