I am still trying to get my head around the JPEG colour depth thing.

Anders (I believe) mentioned that a Jpeg is 8 bit per colour, for a
total of 24 bit colour.

I can do the math, and can see that this should be very good colour
depth (256x256x256=16777216).

My question however is, since it is still 8 bit per colour, is the
Jpeg file still really limited in fine colour delineation because it
is limited to 256 discreet shades per primary colour?

My reason for asking is that what I see coming off my digital printer
at work has obviously inferior colour depth to the work coming off
the optical printer.

Thanks

William Robb
