Thank you for the info.

What paper size are you using?

I'm using letter size paper ONLY. So I guess the max I can use is 8x10,
right?

I don’t have any A3 or A5 paper here to try, so I guess I'll have to wait
until I buy some. I'll take care of that.

It's good to know you're doing RGB fine. That's what I use in my workflow,
and not grayscale.

Could you please do a test for me? Print a 8x10 RGB 16 bit TIFF in 720 dpi
and see if you can get a proper output? I'd really appreciate. I just want
to know if I'm doing something wrong.

Thank you.

Nelson
