    Re: Epson 3800

    Yes. I have been cutting roll paper to 30" x 17" and 26" x 17" for my common printing sizes and using it on the Epson 3800. It takes a short while to get the cutting technique down, but then it's...

    Re: Best books for Photoshop CS3?

    I just received, and am entirely under-whelmed by, Kelby's CS3 book. It may be ok for beginners, but probably not anyone else.
