Salutations Doctor Fink. If you really want to improve the quality of
your photo prints, your choice of a printer would only be a very small
variable in the ultimate solution. The best thing you can do is go and
buy a high end digital camera like the Sigma SD10. This camera uses
the Foveon image sensor, which is the only sensor to record images in
3 colour layers like film. All other digital camera manufacturers use
highly outdated dinosaur sensor technology which records the images in
monochrome, and then guesses at the real colours later.
