I got the new software, never could get it to look the way I liked and went back to the original plug-in. >I'm not too interested in the latter right now. How does the Piezography >profiles system compare to the original plugin system? Others swear by the profiles system. I prefer the plug-ins, but that may just be a quirk of my 3000's. >(BTW before anyone suggests the Quarrington RIP, I'm on a Windows system and >the windows version isn't what you would call user friendly yet....) I haven't tried that yet, but I have hear good things about it. For smaller prints I really like the Epson 2200 and the toning layers available through PhotoKit on Epson Smooth Fine Art paper. That paper is too thick for the Epson 3000 but feeds fine through the back of the 2200. I'm thinking about getting the 4000 to make the same prints larger and getting rid of my old 3000's. Technology has really moved beyond their feeding system. Mine have been real work horses, though! Tina Tina Manley, ASMP www.tinamanley.com
