We have one of the NeXTColor printers and are extreamly dissapointed with it. It was ordered right when the printer and 3.0 were announced. Right now we're thinking of sending them it back because it just will not due. NeXT promoted 3.0 and the Color printer saying that with their new Pantone color system and the NeXTColor printer you finally have a wysiwyg color system. Colors that you see on the screen is what you get on the printer. THIS IS VERY FAR FROM THE TRUTH. The colors on this printer are all screwed up. Blue comes out purple. Gray has a red tint. Yellow and magenta seem to be too deep. And green seems a little on the dark side. All images come out both with some wrong colors and way too dark. One of our old HP PaintJets at only 180dpi produces a much more accurate and high quality picture using ghostscript. We are considering getting one of the newer HP's with 300dpi so we can get some quality. If anyone knows a way to fix this Color printer please let us know. There is nothing in the manual about adjusting color on this thing.
