In general the HP PaintJet along with the interface kit is a very good
solution to satisfy your color printing needs on a MAC II. I have printed
some images with Pixel Paint and there are a few issues that you should
be aware of.  The interface kit limits the number of colors that the 
HP PaintJet can produce to 256.  As a result you might experience some
banding in your final output.  For example, if on the screen you have
a suttle shading from light to dark blue, the PaintJet will only output
four different shades.  If anyone has any further questions regarding the
HP PaintJet and the Mac interface kit please feel free to send me email

the development of the Macintosh interface kit.
