Hi  David,  Yes I realize that each print has to have different driver 
settings.  It is very easy to reroll the paper back up because that is 
what roll paper printers do is work from roll paper.  I am mainly 
talking 19mil canvas here, because that cut sheets are very flimsy and 
are very hairy to run. the 7600 rolls the sheets back and forth very 
fast and it is very easy to get a crash.  The roll is much more stable.  
I am going to try printing from qimage.

Thanks for the reply,  I still wish I understood all this black stuff 
better.  At least my out of gamut deep blacks dont turn green now like 
they did with the atkinsons. And there is more detail and almost no 
posterization.

Randy
