Digital BW, The Print

Well having tried everything else that has been suggested thus far I am at
the point that I am sure I need a better printer :-/

Thanks

Hi David,

I don't know anything about the DJ648c but from experience the D7 and
PS will do a fine job. We print to an Epson 1160 from the D7 and get
superb print quality. The printer/driver is unlikely to produce
pixelation, so how are you setting your image size? The D7 file is
2560 x 1920, so resized to fit A4 or letter paper _with 'Resample' set
to off - very important_ you will get about 240 ppi. That's an ideal
figure to send to an Epson, and I doubt if the HP is too different. If
all the driver settings are for maximum quality that should work well.

I doubt if the HP output will be as good as an Epson or the new
Canons, but it won't be too dreadful.

Cheers,

Colin
