We're considering buying a colour postscript printer for our lab, with     
the idea of printing 24-bit colour images. While I realise that we're
not going to get anywhere near photographic quality, any sample prints
I've seen all seem to be from drawing packages, with very little  
variation in intensity.      
   
I've seen output from colour photocopiers, the quality seems to fit our 
needs exactly, but my question is is it possible to get printers that 
come this close to photographic quality ??? 	
   
If anyone has seen the NEC Colormate PS 80 in action (they have yet to
sell one in Ireland ) I'd really appreciate their comments, or indeed
anyone who has experience in this area.  	

thanks,
