Ken,
You're right - the manual could be more informative about what these settings really mean. That said, the difference between "Fine" and "Super Photo" means that for printing photos you should get a higher quality print from "Super". Now, how that happens under the hood I'm not sure, and the difference it makes to perceptible image quality is very, very subtle. As the dpi is the same, any difference doesn't come from more or less dpi. That leaves differences in the screening and dithering algorithms, and perhaps print speed (but here I'm not sure, because print speed is also a user-controllable option apart from these resolution settings), producing a subtely "tighter" result from the selection of Super. I just leave mine on Super and don't even think about it.

We installed the first of our Epson 4900's and I have a question about the
print settings. Does anyone know what is the difference between "Fine -
1440 dpi" and "SuperPhoto - 1440 dpi"? The manual is completely useless.
Obviously the SuperPhoto is supposed to be a better print quality, but what
is it doing differently?
Thanks.
