- Just as a note of moderation, while I too have and like the Epson Stylus

- Because of the limitations of the Amiga OS printer driver (4096 colours)
- the EnPrint driver (like others) uses it's own means to get 24 bit print
- output...this can occasionally fall afoul of dithering schemes used in
- other software, though in a pinch one can always use the 'pass-thru'
- EnPrint density selection and use the applications (FW's for instance)
- built-in routines.

- If anyone has actually found a way to get true 24 bit output from FW with

- just wish the Amiga was inherently better suited to high colour printing.
