>Is Fujix Pictrography 4000 considered a hybrid? It uses photographic
paper, the chemistry (on donor paper) is wet processed to the paper. I
think the Pictro print quality surpasses Lightjet & Lambda, only the output
size is smaller limited, correct?
I'm not so sure of that, but haven't done any A:B comparisons.
I have had LightJet prints made on a number of occasions, and
they are beautiful. The native resolution of the CS-5000
printer is 305 dpi. You cannot see any digital artifacts
whatsoever on the print.
The Pictro print that I own isn't a good showcase for resolution,
alas. It was given to me as a gift.
