One thing to remember about the ECS, it will not center your image to the page in Pshop without going through hoops. The Epson margins are 4 different widths. You can get some great info on the Epson America Forum. Although you can import your image in Corel Draw and center perfectly. It really is a fantastic product for the price. Now if we could just get 720dpi drivers for NT! Currently only Microsofts driver supports 360 dpi in NT. Here is the current poop on NT drivers: >>Epson has so far developed 2 drivers specifically for the Stylus-Color. One for Windows 3.1 / 3.11 / 95 (currently version 1.06). The other one is for Macs (68K / PPC, currently version 1.20a). We don't currently have an NT driver. Microsoft does have an NT driver but it only supports up to 360dpi. Windows and Macs were chosen because they make up around 90% of our customer base. Following those two, the personal computer GUIs with the highest market share are probably Windows NT and OS/2. My understanding is the IBM does indeed have a 720dpi driver. As far as Microsoft, they do have a 720dpi driver that will ship with Windows 95. They obviously have the know-how and resources for making the NT driver 720dpi-compatible. My guess is that they may have relocated those resources into putting finishing touches on the long-delayed Windows 95. Other users such as yourself have run across this issue before and they have made sure Microsoft knows about this. It's my also understanding the Windows NT and Windows 95 source codes extremelly similar. I'm sure it won't be long until they get around to resolving this issue.<< Remember that when in color mode in NT, Microweave is automatically set to "on" Mike
