Here is the summary: Pros: Versatile, durable output; good photo quality with dye sub option. Cons: Expensive Their buying advice is basically that if you just want photo quality output you are better off with the good ink jets for a lot less money. If you want the options of the speciality ribbons go for the Alps. Also if you want to use it on a mac you need a SCSI connection kit, appx $98.00..if using iMac or B&W G3 then you have to have installed a SCSI card or USB/SCSI adapter. The article says the outputs are not truely photorealistic, they print with the kind of visiable line screen one would see in a magazine half tone. Says the outputs lack the photographic quality of the newer six color inkjets such as the Epson Stylus Photo series. They may have the article on their site. www.macworld.com On 7/8/99 1:48 PM Paul Chefurka wrote: >Check out the rec.photo.digital newsgroup, and its archive on Deja News. >There's lots of discussion of the Alps, but the consensus there seems to >lean toward the Epson Photo inkjets.
