The new Seiko color PostScript printer is Pantone *certified* and
it's only a four-color (or three-color, or one-color) printer.  If
you tell it to print Pantone #nnn, you get Pantone #nnn.

The people down the hall from me pay $8-12 for each color poloroid they
make.  (I think they have a Matrix QCM, but don't quote me.) You should
realize there are a *lot* of different poloroid imaging compounds
out.  Everything from Mom-and-Dad's Poloroid, to instant+b/w negative
to outrageously expensive 8x10 and larger color prints.
