Which FilmMaker resolution and density settings did you choose?
I've been using an Epson 1400 and FilmMaker for about a month... set at 1440x1440 60lpi DD.
I haven't printed enough films yet to start fooling around with other settings, so far I'm happy with the results.
An average size image takes 3 minutes to print at those settings.
There is an HS setting (high speed ?)... I may try that setting next.
