I know that QTR maxes out at 2880 dpi. The R3000 does not have that option (which disgruntles me!), so what am I setting here? The printer has: 1440x720, 1440x1440 and 5760x1440. Also, which "1440" am I using at 1440? Another failing of the Epson front end is the lack of ability to fully control print quality. Once a paper type is chosen it locks you into a few options. Are you overriding the driver somehow? Seth

I don't personally use the R3000 but I know when using 1440, it's going to be the 1440x1440. You might play with using it instead of 2880, but the 5760 option might be a viable choice as 5760 is 2x 2880. As for the Epson front end, on Mac you're not using the Epson driver, you're using the RIP. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if you're on PC, you use the QTR print gui rather than photoshop as QTR doesn't utilize the print dialog in Windows.

I believe that Epson drivers convert EVERYTHING incoming to 720 x 720 and then convert to the selected printing density from there so it does not much matter what you set the driving app to. Actually, I believe that some of the larger machine drivers convert to 360 x 360. Harvey Sent from my iPad

Seth, QTR is a completely separate print driver so the Epson settings are irrelevant when using QTR. In QTR 2880dpi is 2880x1440 -- actually very similar to Epson's 5760x1440. They leave out half the dots anyway. 1440dpi and 1440super are both 1440x720.
