No I don't really want to print halftones but I do want to know what the printer is doing. I don't like devices that have drivers etc. written for amateurs. I would rather struggle with a 4x5 than fire away merrily with a Polaroid. Most of my prints so far have not shown smooth patches of color so I suspected I was doing something wrong while printing. Holding an 8x10 at 4", I can see the dots that make up the colors. Held at arm's length they look fine to me. I am now wondering if perhaps I should not be examining an 8x10 that closely. Last night I figured something out. When I view the image at 100% in Photoshop, I see the same dots. Originally I thought that was normal but I think the printer is doing a great job recreating the dots that are in the original scan and perhaps the film was just a tad too grainy. Oh well. Keep testing. Thanks for your help. Greg
