The
capabilities of wide format color printers is increasing with
each new model. Is this picture colorful enough? This is from
the Encad NovaJetPro large format inkjet printer. We used
to do exhibits with Cibachrome, now we can print exhibit quality
prints in our own office with a wide format ink jet printer.
This
large format inkjet print shows the waterlily, sacred flower
of the Classic Maya of Guatemala. Actually this is from a
35mm color slide, scanned with a Nikon 35mm slide scanner.
It enlarges nicely to about 24 inches. With a good scanner
it should be possible to enlarge a 35mm image to about one
meter by one meter (about 42 x 36 inches).

but is sort of obsolete today. We have found the Hewlett-Packard
DesignJet printers to be easier to use and higher quality.
