  Diana, I don't think it's something very different (and/or 
considerably more elaborate) than we already do right now - using 
slightly different methods... Just speculating here: My best (and most 
optimistic) guess would be that it's a software module designed for the 
specific purpose of making enlarged negatives for contact printing, 
integrated in their RIP. (= $$$) As I said before, for the moment, to 
us, the software itself isn't much important. (And probably will stay so 
- See the "$$$" part...) What's more important is the fact that we 
finally have their focus (a collaboration with Magnum isn't something to 
take lightly BTW), and that makes me hope that maybe they'll finally 
start to consider our specific needs when designing future products 
(and/or software updates)... And it's good that HP did that first, that 
will probably stimulate Epson to catch up(!) ;)

Regards,
Loris.
