The Epson inkjet printer does indeed give very high resolution printouts,
close to a dye subs' (but not quite as smoothly graded). One cautionary
note however, is that the inks sublimate rapidly, losing brightness in just
a month or two if exposed. They must be sealed in a vinyl envelope right
after printing to be stable.
