Encad Chroma 24

The 24 is the little brother to the NovaJet which is a 36"  x  300dpi, of
which I have 2.

Poster quality is very good @ 300 dpi especially if you start with a good
image. You will only need to present 75 DPI to the RIP. eg. I scan a 35 mm
@ 2000 dpi and a 36" x24" comes out very well.

My RIP is the Photoscript lite and I have no probs with it. Dirt cheap from
Mediastreet.com.

You will have problems though with anything thicker than 180 gsm.( dont
know lbs.) watercolour paper eg  - the CP Arches that I use is borderline
because the Heads tend to catch as they traverse the paper.
If you can keep around 7 mil. you wont have any probs with Photo Paper such
as Ilford.

I also have 3000s and honestly there is no comparison at Photo quality, but
if you can get the colours right I find large WC prints look quite good at
1 metre and behind glass -  as all prints should be.
