5760-DPI - Epsons and TurboPrint 7.xx

[Hyperspeed]

I'm not happy with the way Turboprint 7.50 talks to my Epson Stylus Color 740, doesn't put it into Microweave mode and thus 1440-DPI doesn't work.

I see other drivers in here that offer new types of paper and ghost the printer settings - overriding with 5760-DPI etc.

Anyone use one of these printers with their Amiga and what's the print quality like? I'm keen to know how 5760x720-DPI compares to 2880x1440-DPI, surely the latter is a more balanced print? What about 6-colour cartridges, do they make a difference?

Anyone with experience of these newer photo printers on Amiga let us know what the quality is like, the print times etc.

I'd really like to get an A3 printer but the Epson Stylus Photo 1200 (which Turboprint supports) only manages 1440x720-DPI with 3-colour use, not quite up to the 2880x1440-DPI with 5/6-colour use.

There's so many printers out there now, anyone know of a comparison chart on the web, comparing paper size, dot pitch and cart costs?

Holby City?

What do you mean? You work for a real hospital called 'Holby City' or are you on the BBC production crew?

:-)

The printer you link to looks really nice but isn't on the TurboPrint list. To be fair I never noticed some of the newer Epson photo printers in the TurboPrefs.

I'm particularly curious about the 5760-DPI and 2880x1440-DPI Epson C64 etc. I'm also keen to hear from anyone who has a Citizen Printiva 600/700 as I'm fascinated that they can print using 4x different shades of metallic wax... Turboprint lists the driver settings as:

Cyan:Normal/Metallic
Magenta:Normal/Metallic
Yellow:Normal/Gold
Black:Normal/Silver

Resolution goes up to 1200x600-DPI!
