Doug,
just when I was ready to buy the new Epson printer, you come along and upset
the apple cart with testimonials on the LightJet 5000 printer. I want one, I
want one.
So I called the company and after a brief conversation I am back to
purchasing the Epson printer.
Wow, $160,000 for the 5500 model.
Obviously you do not have one of these machines in your darkroom...........
or do you?

> For prints, the LightJet 5000 printer is hard to beat.  The LightJet is
found at a number of custom labs scattered across the US; I don't know how
widespread they are in Europe.  The LightJet 5000 reads your digital file
and prints it on photographic paper, either color or B&W.  When it's done
right the results are mind-boggling.
