Can't be that hard. Take an existing inkjet printhead and replace it with an RGB laser light print head; ensure all lights on the printer can be turned off so as not to fog any photo paper. Print. Of course it will be up to the user to then develop the print. Naturally it goes against the grain for these printer companies to do this as they then don't make any money selling ink. Still I'd be happy to pay extra (say 50-150%) for an equivalent format printer to their ink version. > Luis Ripoll wrote: > > >Hi Nathan, > > > >You have a very nice site! > > > >Please let me know what is Lambda Print Technology?, I don't know if this > >is > >a technology for professional Labs or it can be used too at home by > >amateurs.
