Hello Federico, Thanks for the input. Current score is only ten pages of string quartet music. Complex yes, but not vast. It suddenly stated after a Debian 9 update. I love Frescobaldi, but the very sluggish response now of the text editor is unusable, and I have had to abandon it for Emacs.

Hi Folks, The Epson P800 has nine tanks (oneupmanship!) including a _matte black_ ink tank, and an eight channel printhead. Resolution is up to 2880 x 1400 dpi, so I can't see how there could be a problem printing sharp lines. Not double sided, but unless the OP tells us more about his budget,
