Ernst,

Thanks for that info. I was assuming Epson's statement of a year or two ago 
was still true, but I also read something else that said it would be nice if 
Epson moved towards 720ppi for the wideformat printers. From what you say, 
it seems they have.

On the Epson 9600, 7600 and 4000 there are some quality settings
in the driver that will result in a request for 720 PPI
resolution in the Epson driver. Tested that with Qimage which
shows the native resolution per driver setting just above the
preview. All other Epson Wide Formats are 360 PPI max in native
resolution.  Whether it shows in the final print is another matter.
