Yup. The HP is over-the-top, and the Epson is under-the-top. The upper right square on the GretagMacBeth color chart is electric cyan on the HP, subdued on the Epson. Hopefully some sort of intelligent color management should get the Epson a bit brighter. >>>>>>>>> 2) If this printer is taking anything approaching 30 minutes for a 8 x 10 print, even at 2880 x 720 dpi, something is not properly configured. Normally, 1/2 to 1/3rd that time for a print of that nature. <<<<<<<<< It'll crank out an A4 with margins in 5 minutes or so, but it takes 25 minutes for no-margin prints. From reading the fine print, this seems to be what it takes. Sigh. Oh well, it'll keep my printing costs down<g>. David J.
