Same here on my Epson C60. The printout of *anything* from this printer on linux, looks *far* better than the same things on my windows partition.
Yes, the quality of the gimp-print driver is amazing. The funny thing with the c70 is that they even went further. The max resolution of the c70 driver in Windows and MacOS X is 2880x720 dpi although the printer is capable of more. The max that gimp-print support on the c70 is 2880x1440 dpi. If you like to experiment, the latest gimp-print have even better quality than the one ship with 8.1. You will need to compile gimp-print with CUPS support, if you are using CUPS. You will also need to recompile ESP Ghostscript. There are also 2 other drivers you can try to see which will give you the best results: (1) Ghostscipt's gimp-print STP driver through CUPS or LPR/ng (You will need to compile and install Foomatic and compile gimp-print with Foomatic support), (2) Ghostscript's gimp-print ijs driver through CUPS or LPD/ng (same precedure as stp, but you will need to compile gimp-print with Foomatic and ijs support). Here are the gory details: http://www.linuxprinting.org/show_printer.cgi?recnum=Epson-Stylus_C60 I am currently using the ijs driver.
