Is there any experience arround with the latest HP models with PhotoRet III? Hans-Peter <<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Hans I recently purchased an Epson 1270. I put an old HP photosmart printer into semi-retirement. I considered the HP a very good photo printer, though the control was probably too limiting for someone doing a lot of printing. My wife purchased an HP 970 Cxi for her computer before I bought the epson, so I had the chance to give the HP 970 a real workout before I decided to go for the epson series of printers. I found the new HP really lacked the ability to reach the same quality of blacks I was used to with my old HP. It is my opinion that HP is not trying to produce the best of the photo printers for such a small group. It is my opinion that the Epson 1270 is a hands down winner over the HP. Dave Stratton
