I've had the best luck in the past with thermal dye-sublimation printers because they produce continuous-tone output. Years back I used the Kodak 8860 printers and such with excellent results.

Inkjet is hit and miss - one printer may work, and the same model might not work as well. It all depends on what you're doing though.

Best advice - use high-quality paper. I liked some of the pasticized backing stuff because it was very dimensionally stable.

Kevin.

Xante bagged it in the R&D phase as I recall. Too many issues.
