Hi Bill, The file size does not have to be a divisor of the printer output rating. It doesn't matter a hoot. Your printer is of the same general type as mine, and your output should be optimum if your picture file is in the neighborhood of 550ppi. For 7x10 prints that means a file size of about 55 meg. After a lot of experimenting, I came to realize that the printer dpi rating had nothing to do with the ppii (or dpi) of the picture file. Tom explains that the printer rating is just the stepping rate of the print head. I'll buy that explanation. It seems logical. Paul
