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. Penny Theodore Penny@brownvm.brown.edu Opinons are my own :)
