Hello Rob, My local lab uses D-Lab 2 and D-Lab 3 printers. I haven't noticed any particular softness with printing to them. When I print locally, the software used to print does seem to make some difference - quite commonly I print with QImage and it rezes up and sharpens the image before sending to the driver. It is common for my prints from the HP 7960 to look sharper than the D-Lab.
Now I am going to have to do a little experimenting. I'll let you know of my findings. One thing I do recall is that the D-Lab prints at 400 dpi rather than the common 300 dpi of the Frontiers. -- Best regards, Bruce Tuesday, November 30, 2004, 5:28:23 PM, you wrote: RS> Hi Team, RS> Has anyone here done any experiments to determine the optimum sharpening to RS> apply to image files destined to print on a D-Lab 2?
