It's weird -- the Epson is printing *exactly* the same image with the same saturation/color as the image in the Print Preview window. The only problem is that the image in the Print Preview image is considerably desaturated compared to the source image. When you go to print, does the image in the Print Preview exactly match your source image? >You can even set up soft proofing so you can preview the colors w/o >going thru print.

If there's a large movement, I'll post to the list. Karen -- Karen Nakamura http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/
