I like the Fuji Frontier prints much better than any inkjet. Real photographs that come out looking just the way they did on my screen. Cheap too. Take the files in on a CF card. My Epson 890 is now a business printer only. It's days are numbered though, cause I've had too many problems like it prints slightly different sizes all the time. And I keep replacing ink carts, though they are cheap here, it's still a hassle. The local 1 hour lab has a Frontier and they print up to 10 by 15 glossy. For smaller sizes I can insert my CD or CF card in their reader, use the touch screen to tell it what size and what to print, hand them the print slip and take my CF or CD card with me. I've compared them to the best of my photos I used to get printed from film, and they blow them away. Ditto with any inkjet prints, even before they've faded. -- Jim Davis, Nature Photography: http://jimdavis.oberro.com/ Motorcycle Relay Kits: http://www.easternbeaver.com/
