I have and Epson Stylus Photo 1280, newly purchased and not used too much yet; however I printed out a digital photo (original size about 5 x 6 or whatever they usually are) at a size of 8.5 x 11.5, and there are no words as to how beautifully printed it was. I couldn't believe it. To set the record straight, however, I know very little else about the printer. It is quiet, seems to me, fast and the print outs are great. I do not do any profiling. The machine does it for me when I choose the paper. In other words, I am no expert, but thought you might like to know what little I know. Mary H. -- Mary H. http://www.netpath.net/~hoekstra/
