I do not have a printer but I have been scanning and saving to a jpeg format which is not the best and taking the scan on a floppy to a local photographer who is printing for me on his dye sub printer. When he saw the results he could not believe that I got it for $500 US. I use photoshop and have scanned slides and color negative as well as B&W 35mm negatives. I have not scanned a print with it as I have a flatbed scanner that I do that with. I am now deciding what printer to buy, probably will wait until January of February. Bill Grimwood
