Hi Simon.You are probably trying to print a "postscript" file which requires a RIP (Raster Image Processor) to print properly. You can buy a software RIP for the Epson but I don't know how good it is. However if you launch Photoshop and then open the file in question it will rasterize it for you and then you can use it and print like a normal Photoshop file. Alternatively if you have Adobe's InDesign you can just import the original file into an InDesign document and then print it without the pixelation your seeing. What's actually printing at the moment is the screen preview. HTH. Patrick. -- http://www.patrickbaldwin.com A member of The Association of Photographers +44(0)20 8891 2516 +44(0)7802 408 638
