- I use the Aminet CD10 version of Pagestream with it and it produces
- very good output.
- Well how to compare with other printers .... I owned a Star LC24-10 a
- time ago ... but how can you compare that ? One possible comparison it
- to a HP 850C we have here at work. I printed the same 24bit color jpeg
- at work and on my Stylus ... the Stylus output was definately better,
- but to be fair ... the quality of the paper I used was better
- (Epson-Paper) compared to the HP850C printing on High quality Copy-paper.
- I think with the same paper they achieve similar results ...
- BUT the Microweave feature definately helps producing real homogenous
- areas ... but It slows the printing down.
- The only flaw about EnPrint V2.0 at the moment is that the printer
- calibration utility does not yet work with the Stylus Color II, only
- with the older stylus models. So you have to do it with the printers
- switch-on-special-mode, which is o.k. as you have to do it only once
- (maybe again when you move the printer ..).
- Other than that everything you want is there.
