Tom… Thanks for the feedback. I received my dye sub. upgrade via ups and direct from Fargo yesterday!!! I only had time last night to make a couple of dye sub. prints last night. I used IM R/t and gif 640x480x256 images because they were the only ones I had access to at home. The results were surprisingly good. I have hundreds of photos on PhotoCD but no CDrom on my Amiga. :^( I also have access to and do considerable digitizing via a Nikon scanner and Mac, at work. I tried to save some files in Amiga IFF format and JPEG format on Mac disks and import them to the Amiga via IM R/t but with no luck – it wouldn't recognize the files as saved by PhotoShop. I have also had spectacular results with the therm wax printing and agree with you the only paper to use is the extra hard/glossy paper that Fargo provides. I tried regular photo copy paper and high quality ink jet paper with only fair results. Later this week I will obtain some 24 bit high res images – somehow and try printing them. The dye sub. printing, by the way, is much slower than the therm wax and takes a whole lot of hard disk space since it creates three raster images on your hard disk. Somewhere between 10 and 20 minutes to print on my A3000/25 (I didn't time it since I kept running out of hard disk space and had to keep throwing away files until I had enough space). Let me know if your dye sub. upgrade arrives and what you think of it compared with results from your dos machine. ..Carl
