If you want photo quality, then you should get a dye sublimation printer. The colored wax roll makes a one-time pass for each primary color, followed by a sealing wax coat. If your camera is 5 megapixels or higher, it would be difficult to distinguish the result from that of a commercial processor Personally I have a Olympus P-400. Outstanding results... retails at $500, but I took advantage of a half-price offer from the manufacturer Go to their web site for further details. Other companies offer printers with such technology, but typically more costly I don't recall, but I believe it supports a number of older Windows platforms -- David richSOB.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
