We have a Kodak XLS8600 printer and are generally pleased with it.  Some
images from our Zeiss LSM410 do look more dynamic on the screen or on slides
from our Polaroid film recorder than in the dye-sub prints.  We loose more
sharpness that I'd like.  We have had a bad experence with three boxes of
defective ribbon (which were replaced by Kodak).  We have never got the
export module for Adobe Photoshop to work.  Otherwise we are happy proofing
on an HP lnkjet printer and doing final prints on the XLS8600.
