The Primera printer supports 18 bit color at 203 dpi in the dye-sub mode
(though I haven't been able to try it yet since the Amiga module isn't shipping
yet). This compares quite favoribly (statistics wise) with :the Kodak XL7720
printer I use (24 bit 203 dpi). So I am hoping to get the best quality photo
reproduction out of the Primera printer. However that is going to be very
difficult if the Amiga OS, ECS chipset or parallel device driver limits output
to 4096 colors.
I also have a Polaroid CI3000 film recorder that I haven't yet hooked up to the
Amiga but wonder if it is going to have the same color limits since it is the
parallel port version.
It seems like I may be in for a lot of frustration and expense trying to get my
A3000 to do what I had hoped it would do.
