Those who claim it scanning is better than wet printing have never seen a fine quality wet print. The thing is, pretty much anyone with a computer and an editing program can churn out work that is better than a machine print, and this is the benchmark people use. I just think thatif you are going to benchmark something, it should be with that technology's actual benchmark. William Robb
