Fujifilm Crystal Archive gets a 40 year rating from Wilhelm, if I recall.
Even teh better dye-based ink-jets are now exceeding this comfortably if
used with the correct papers.
The latest HP Photosmarts with Vivera inks have very good Wilhelm ratings,
but out of the box print quality is still below par. If you profile the
printer you will get very good results though. If you aren't interested in
doing that, I'd go for an Epson Stylus R800, if you can still find one, or
the R1800 version, which is an A3+ printer.

| If you are not willing or able to learn color managed printing you will be
better off with some third party printing service.
If you are willing, able or already familiar with color managed printing I
would strongly recommend the Epson 800 or 1800. One reason for preferring
Epson is the maturity of their drivers and the variety of paper surfaces
they manufacture with very good canned profiles.

Pete colour management is all about ensuring your paper, inks, printer and
your computer screen are all calibrated correctly. The explanation about
colour profiling I posted on the other group is part of this

What's your budget? Check out Epson's printers. As of now, the only
consumer level printers that product archival quality output are the
ones that use Epson's Durabryte pigment based inks. So buy the Epson
printer that fits your price range. I have an Epson R1800, which I love!
It was around $500. >> Stay informed about: Good photo printer |
