Depending on your budget and need. If you have lots of dough, then get the
Fuji Pictrography 3000/4000, for a mere $4000 and $10000, you can have
prints that are unrivaled in your block.
Coming down from the sky a bit, a Kodak dye-sub printer is $1000. Good if
you want to sell 8x10 prints and want that continuous tone look. The Epson
2200 should make prints that last almost as long, and is more flexible and
capable in print sizes, for about $700, but with teeny-tiny dots. In terms
of color fidelity, nothing beats the Epson 1280 or the Canon S9000. The
C9000 is exceptionally fast but Epson is better in terms of paper selection
and after market supplies including quad black ink. They are both around
$400-$500.
There are many great printers for cheaper than these, but these are the
topnotch ones. You can't go wrong with any of these if it is within your
budget.
Don't forget the Olympus P-400 dye sub printer! It too makes 8X10
continous tone prints. The guys I have hooked up with at D&W Images
say it is the only printer they have found to meet their needs for
image quality for selling prints right at the race track. It is only
about $450. For an inkjet capable of letter size prints, the Epson
820 for $99 has to be the best price/performance ratio I know of by
far. It's output is as good or better than HP or Canon, IMHO, and for
way less money.

I don't know how this is supposed to look, but it is indecipherable
using Navigator on a Mac.
I'd suggest you test it on more browsers, or lighten-up on the tricky
JavaScript. >>
Works fine for me on my old G3/233 running OS 9.1 with Netscape
4.77--looks exactly the same as with IE 6 to me. It is a different
approach to a mouse over and click kind of page. What version Netscape
are you running Jan?

Mike, I have had very poor luck getting web pages to show photographs
properly on any version of Netscape in the last year or so. I
strongly suggest you go over to dark side and migrate to Explorer for
Mac. I have had much better luck with it for viewing photos from web
based image hosting sites. This may be why you have had some trouble
viewing links I have sent you in the past or with PhotoSig. Don't
know that for a fact, but it wouldn't surprise me, either.
BTW, I am told I will have paper credentials for CART testing at
Laguna the end of the month. Whether I will still be employed at that
time will be another matter-my company announced a week ago it is
planning 400 layoffs in the next few weeks! :-(
(it has been a tough week).
