I have not been running my 1160 that long so I cannot judge whether 180dpi multiple thing is right or not. Having run a couple of test prints (following suggestions yesterday from my posting),what I am am certain of is that I got better results maintaining the res at 360 dpi and interpolating up than dropping the res t0 300 or 240 dpi to increase the print size...
