    Strength:

    High resolution. Very slick looking mylar inks - supposedly they won''t fade and are extremely durable. Can produce some professional looking output on thick stock.

    Weakness:

    Since this is a ribbon printer and not an inkjet, there is very noticable banding. It also does poorly with continuous tone photographic images. So if you''re expecting a professional dye sub photo printer, this isn''t it. Only Alps inks and paper are available - not much industry support.

    Good dye sub printer (with upgrade) with very high resolution but very poor continuous tone printing. I bought it when it was the best thing on the market. For a photographic printer, I''d look toward EPSON.
