Its something to wish for, but  more brilliant colors tend to come through 
functions that wear out, such as phosphorescence... so it would be a tough 
trick. I believe the Fotonics are currently the best you can get, and with 
custom printer profiles, thats darned good. Printing through canned profiles 
for Epson ink can be quite dissapointing, however. In fact a profile I built 
yesterday with the low cost WiziWYG profile creation package for the Epson 
driver is so good, I'd be hard pressed to get a better print with Epson inks.
