- I really like the Epson Stylus II color I just bought. In 720x720 dpi it
- is really close to a dye-sub printer. The 'problem' with the HP printers
- is that they have a max resolution of 300 dpi in color. They do have CET
- (the color ver. of RET) which I have no comment on.
-
- One problem is that until I got Studio Pro II printer driver, the Epson
- laid way too much ink down in 720 dpi. But, that was fixed with the new
- drivers (there are also drivers for the HP and Canon in the package). I
- use the Epson with PgS and Wordworth for DTP stuff, and the built in Studio
- driver for pictures only.
-
- No real comment on B/W printing only, I have a laser for that.
