I print 4X6 with my Epson SP825. That's premium glossy paper...I don't know if that size is available in other types. If I want bigger than 8X10 then I switch to roll paper, which allows 8X12, 8xwhatever. -- Steve [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
