I'm looking to download some high-resolution images to print on my Epson Stylus Color 880. I really like the sample photos that print on Epsons in retail stores, are those images available anywhere?

So I'm looking for pictures like that...people, faces, shiny metallic objects like motorcycles, perhaps even some nice fine art or still life.

Thanks!

Some sample images should be available on the driver CD, at least they were on my pc driver disk for the Stylus 670

the images do come on cd with the printer but the software to print them is pc only... all the files are in eps format which i don't think you can open with anything else.

Hi dpfenninger,
Another place to get great quality photos to print is in Photoshop (if you have it). The have great sample pictures that are put on your hard drive when you install it...

Hi Paulos,
You can, infact, open EPS (encapsulated postscript images) with a couple of different programs... Photoshop and Graphic Converter(shareware) will both open these...
regards,
dave

Sorry, i made a mistake... they are stored as PRN files. Which can't be opened as far as I know.

BTW, a nice high res picture of the world is here:

this looks very nice printed glossy on an epson!
