For Amiga users I would not recommend buying an Epson printer. From what I've seen/heard it's nothing really new and their current b/w Stylus can't keep up with current b/w ink jets from other manufacturers. Driver support is not existing (of course old Epson drivers do work… but far from being fast/good). And I personaly wouldn't believe that marketing hipe of 720 dpi or 600 dpi from manufacturers. This is not the dot resolution, it's rather the movement precission of the print head. No ink yet I have seen so far is really able to print dots smaller than 360dpi. For instance, the current Canon BJC 600 can print dots that are halve the size of HP's 600 dpi claimed Deskjet. Thus Canon's output is much sharper even without 600 dpi… — Wolf Faust, Am Dorfgarten 10, 60435 Frankfurt, Germany —
