I hope someone can help Chris with this printing question, certainly one of
the purposes of the forum. But forgive me, Chris, for using this as an
opportunity to suggest to the members of the forum an alternate source of
help: the makers of our hardware, software and media.

When we go to the source (Epson, Inkjet Mall, etc.), they have a better idea
of how extensive these problems are and where they need to make changes.
Every call to their tech support is a "vote" for improvement.

When I go directly to the source, I usually get a helpful answer. Sometimes
I get a replacement.


Best,
