The LightJet prints are spectacular. The issue I have with the LightJet is it's only 200 PPI output, though it is "continuous" tone. The Piezo output can take advantage of up to 720 PPI to the printer, so for B&W, I'd still say the Piezo output is going to be sharper than the LightJet. Now, as far as comparing chemical prints to inkjet, well, I don't believe that chemical prints can sustain the resolution of an inkjet. I did know the exact data at one time, but I don't recall it off the top of my head, but I seem to remember that chemical prints can sustain much usable resolution over 160 lines/inch (80 lp/inch). Does anyone have any links to "factual" information on the sustainable resolution of photochemical paper? Regards, Austin - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
