- I guess that was my post, the original article has expired on my server.
- I think I am the only one in this thread talking about the Studio drive
- (though I could be wrong)

- Since I didn't have any version before, I can't comment on that, my
- comment was that it makes it possible to use it on PgS because *PgS* laid
- down WAY too much ink. To the point where there was serious bleed 1-2mm
- from the edge of a line.

-
- That would be my one complaint at the moment (# of shades). But it really
- isn't that big a one. I have been attempting to generate my own
- profiles, but my scanner just went on the fritz at a bad time. It is a
- rather daunting task.
-
- Does anyone out there happen to have spoken with Epson about the
- compensation values of the Stylus II ink? (magenta in cyan and yellow in
- magenta) and does it improve the color at all if used?

-
- Now, more speed is alway a good thing. Are you going to make an 060
- optimized version version (or is that already there, the manual only sez
- -> 040.) He asks thinking towards the future of an 060 card.
-
- I want to complement you on a terrific program (and a manual that is
- actually useful). It also did wonders for my laser printer output.
-
- Will the updates be posted somewhere, or do I have to wait for a
- snail-mail version to show up?
-
- Later,
