Well I suppose the point could be made that printers get along by mixing up three to five colours anyway, the results though are good enough for most people's eyes. My Epson 740 can turn out onto photo paper stuff from my Kodak digi that is as good as anything your going to get from Boots and definitely better than Trueprint. I can now download and store images from my digi camera to my Q40 ( thanks Simon ) I'm not sure I can load the file into a Q40 program and print it out to the same standard as using Paintshop pro or something on my PC, but I would dearly love to. Having said that I do have Paragraph would that do it I wonder?. I do need to get down to using the Q40 more than I do, the last two years have been so hectic with one thing and another I have lost touch, haven't made the subgroup for four months now. Speaking of Paragraph, it has gone a little quiet, does anyone know if Francios is still working on this? all the best - Bill
