Thanx for the reply. I was wondering why you chose IJC over Quad for
the software. I noticed a price difference. Is it like Photoshop
Elements vs. CS2 or CS3? Also, since this is a hobby and I do not
print large prints at this time, where or how would I get larger
prints made? I would like to be economical and that was the reason I
thought I can get color and larger prints with a 3800. Is there a way
I can give all the info and settings like I would print to an inkjet
and give to a printer (which one would you suggest?)?
