Yes, C.H., with a 23-year career in journalism and a decade in PR, I
think I know what off-set printing and CMYK are. I also know enough not
to waste allot of time looking at prints through loupes of any
magnification - I look at prints with my eyes, the way all non-anal
compulsives do. And if my eyes tell me the print looks good, it looks
good.
ROLFLO!

It is nothing special about the 2450dpi print, everyone on the
commercial offest printing field know about that, it is not special high
resolution one just an old standard, some are even higher today. Ah! do
you know what is offset printing and CMYK?
You think your inkjet print has higher resolution than Frontier print?
Check it with a 10x lupe you will know and remember I was talking about
4x6" print.
BTW, I have never discuss about other printing technologies with the
Fuji dealer, I think I know more than they do.
