I've been to their website, and I want to see if I have a concept of what this plug-in does. I usually don't print very much on computer printers, but am thinking of taking the plunge and getting an Epson 1280. Let's say I have a 2 meg JPG, like, maybe 1500 x 2200 pixels - Pretty big, maybe OK for an 8x10, but I think it might be pixelated somewhat. Does Genuine Fractals "depixelate" the image, or sort of "vectorize" the image, so it looks smooth when printed? What is confusing to me is that they talk about making an 18 meg image a "54 meg" image. Does the software "add pixels" to beef up the image in some sort of interpretive way? Also, do people like the Epson 1280 as the most bang for the buck and the fewest ink hassles? I'm toying with getting one, but it might be cheaper and higher quality to just order enlargements.
