Feli, I have never seen a Lightjet print ................ many from  
the Fuji 3000 and 4000 machines (fantastic quality in A4 and A3) but  
still expensive. The description on the web indicates excellent/ 
exceptional quality for Lightjet.

Perhaps you need first to determine for what the prints are  
intended .............. and then examine further.

Last week, I received the Epson man with a 700 scanner and the 2400.  
The scans, 6x6 and 35mm were great ............... and the prints,  
A3, from the 6x6 scans very very pleasing. Just the simple selection  
of the basic menu function was completed ............ no PS wizardry!

Recommendation ............... take a couple of good scans or digital  
images to your dealer/shop and have them print for you ..............  
then you'll know. That's what dealers are for ............. they need  
to earn their money .............. however, please don't go and order  
via the web afterwards to save a couple of bucks.

Happy searching,
B.
