RE: Need printer suggestions

Sounds like a very reasonable basis for analysis, Al. I, too, have heard
about Kodak's approaches in this latest bid to find a footing in the
printer market. Sometimes s good dose of skepticism is a healthy thing.

The number is Wilhelms. One thing to keep in mind, manufacturer
estimates are marketing tools...they may not stand up to rigid,
scientific scrutiny.
Kodak promotes it's papers at 100+ years. Wilhelm discovered that they
used 25% of the light intensity for their tests, skewing the results.
Their rationale was most houses are not that bright; however, Wilhelm
subjects all their test products to the same standards. That is why I
use Wilhelm for my comparisons.
