What I can do, C. H., is produce stunning color prints at home for very
little money. I don't ask are they 2450 dpix 4 offset - because what the
#$# 0s that anyway? 4 WHAT offset? To be perfectly honest - and just a
bit rude - it sounds as though you are simply spouting back something
you half-heard at the Fuji dealer, and really don't know what you're
talking about. ;-)

First of all can you do 2450dpi x 4 offset printing quality with your
inkjet printer? It is the usual commercial magazine quality but that is
still poorer than the over 300dpi continous tone Fuji Frontier.
Your ink cost no money? My ink cost me over $25+22 US (color+B/W) and I
think it will not print over 30 page full color A4, how about printing
some night scenes with 800f dark area? I bet it will print less than
10pcs :-)
