I can't second it <g> cuz I print graphic and the label software came with
my Epson 900 doesn't have option to keep the photo in ratio (when I
increase/decrease the size) and doesn't have some other small but not less
important so I tried different labelers to find the one suites me the best.
And I end up with the same old SureThing I have used long before I bought
the Epson 900.
