The problems start when you don't know that you don't know and think that you do.

468538 2006-07-07 04:32:00 Black, white, and grey are neutral. Adding various amounts of black and white to colours, gives shades of colours. Adding black to a colour might give a "neutral shade". But you can't get a true grey scale that way.

Much of the colours we see aren't produced in accordance with colour theory, anyway. We haven't got pure primary colours available. And we don't have many ways of mixing them to produce a uniform colour. All we have, on paper or a CRT, is an approximation.

If you can see dots of different colours which have to be "mixed" in your eye, the approximations aren't very good. The only printers which give proper colours by mixing are the dye-sublimation ones.

If a customer insists on an exact colour, the printer can use an ink of that colour. The Pantone system was produced for this purpose. The three colour process is just not good enough.

468545 2006-07-08 00:29:00 compare $110 (including free USB 2 cable + it is a newer model)

Free USB cable... you would think the cost of one usb cable to a large printer manufacturer, would be nothing. Printers are next to useless without a cable.

Includes free printer cartridges :rolleyes:
