One note with regard to the Kodak vrs the Fuji printer.  The kodak printer
is a CMYK printer (cyan/magenta/yellow/black).  The Fuji is an RGB printer
(red/green/blue).  The difference might not seem much, but try to get a
vivid red or pure blue out of the Kodak.  For a demonstration, take an RGB
file in Photoshop and convert the image to CMYK.  You will notice that the
colors seem washed out.  It is possible to restore some of the vibrancy to
the colors by adjusting the color sliders, but the result is never as good
as a straight RGB image.  On-the-ohter-hand, most publishers use CMYK
printers, so finals for publication will more closely resemble the original
if they are printed in a CMYK format.  In short, the RGB-CMYK difference
might not be an issue for your individual applications, but you should be
aware of the difference.
