Thing about the DeskJet - it can do 300dpi (dots per inch) at its highest 
print density.  The PaintJet can only do 180dpi.  So, you'd actually be 
getting BETTER resolution as well as color with this DeskJet/Inkmun 
combo.  Mind you, the colors wouldn't be dithered so much as layered upon 
each other, which may cause discrepancies between screen and printer (or 
rather, more discrepancies than what you ALREADY get...).
 
Also, doesn't Professional Page by Gold Disk do color separations?  Not 
that PageStream isn't perfectly suitable - I use it on both a DeskJet and 
PaintJet and love it.  (No InkMun, though.)
