Hi there,

Has anyone experienced printing quality problems with the relatively new
Epson Photo 1270 inkjet printer?

While printing bitmap images produces beautiful reproductions, vector
artwork looks crap.  What happens is that artwork printed directly from
Illustrator produces anti-aliasing effects on the print - as if it were
printing from Photoshop.

I'm aware that the 1270 is not a postscript printer, but that shouldn't be a
problem from printing from Illustrator.  My old Epson Stylus II never
produced anti-aliased artwork prints from Illustrator, neither does my
University's Photo 1200.  I've upgraded to the latest Epson driver's
released just the other day.  No change.

Running MacOS 9.04 on a blue & white G3 350 with 256meg of RAM.  Any
answers?

Thanks in advance.

- Alex
