[LRflex] Kodak's new printers...

All:

Kodak has always attempted to offer good quality at the low end of 
the price spectrum.  And they've been good at it!  Just look at the 
number of Instamatics sold, compared to Leicas,   Nikons or Canons.

Now, they've introduced a new line of printers, to compete with HP, 
Canon, et al.

What makes them interesting, is that they "enable consumers to 
affordably print crisp, sharp documents and KODAK lab-quality photos 
at home using premium, pigment-based inks ....with exceptional 
quality that lasts a lifetime under typical home display conditions. "

OK, so I've used cut and paste to combine bits of two sentences from 
their press release.  Shoot me for taking things out of context.  But 
this is the key... long lasting, PIGMENTED (not dye based) 
inks.  Better yet, ink cartridges will be $10 for black, and $15 for 
colour ... about half the going rates, or less.

If the quality is as good as they claim (I still  have my doubts) 
colour home printing may become viable, after all!
