Anyone willing to help out with a little snippit of quick-and-dirty research? I've just completed some research for Hewlett-Packard on reactions to a new inkjet printing technology. The problem was, we didn't have any /really/ technically literate people in the groups. So, I wondered, where will I find some quickly to check something out? d.t.m, I thought ... So ... Supposing HP announced a new colour inkjet printer which used something called 'colour layering'. Suppose that the explanation given was this: - All colour inkjets use three basic colours (plus black) to create other colours - Conventional inkjets do so by placing different colours next to each other - Eg. a red dot next to a blue dot is perceived by the eye as a purple area (I know they don't have these colours, this is just illustrative) - With colour layering, colours are layered one on top of the other - They then blend together to create the desired colour - The result is more shades of colour and thus more realistic images What would you think of this explanation? Assuming you could then go and look at comparative printouts to judge for yourself, would this explanation be sufficient or would you want to know more about it? If you'd want more detail, what sort of info would you want? Please email responses direct to me. Many thanks - this will be an enormous help!
