I print mostly to hang on my walls in frames, I would not sell a print made on an Epson or Canon printer, no matter how many years they say they will last. A real photo print always matches perfectlyl if I tell them no auto corrections. It's fast and cheap. I don't need to have a printer around, don't need to keep extra ink, don't need to keep special paper, and the Frontier does such a super job of upscaling. I had a photo printed on a Frontier to 10" by 15" from a digital file not even 1000 pixels on the long side, and it looks super even up close. But the best thing is these prints do not need to be behind glass in order not to fade. I don't have a lot of space for an extra printer around my office either. -- Jim Davis, Owner, Eastern Beaver Company: http://easternbeaver.com/ Motorcycle Relay Kits, Modulator Kits, Powerlet, Centech, Posi-Lock, Parts. 1988 K100RS SE ABS in Japan. 1991 ST1100 in America.
