Re: Encad Croma24 - any thoughts?

Tony,

I almost bought one about 14 months ago. They are very good printers and can print
8 inches wider than the 3000. But the image quality isont as good. However, they
still churn out very good looking prints. Go to Encad's web site an "order" a
sample print. They'll send you one free of charge. The decide for yourself.
