Re: BO printing question

Hi Bob

No, you were right first time - I am a he.

I just checked out my printer set up and it's the same as yours, with
super micro weave etc.  'Best photo' seems to give pretty good
results, so I haven't tried the 'photo rpm' setting, even for colour.
 I guess when my R2 inks arrive I could give this a try, and see what
'super-micro weave' output looks like.

(Actually I preferred it when you chose a numeric dpi setting - seemed
a little clearer.)

Cheers

Chris
