I would recommend the high end IRIS Smartjet printers or their other inkjet
models. A service bureau I use in Boston has these and the output is very
high resolution when images are sent in color postscript format from
Photoshop. They claim that effective dpi is 1800! I would tend to belive
it, as images from Painter and Photoshop come out like color photos, many
people I show them to cannot detect any pixels and don't realize they're
digital images. Cost per print where I go is $35.
