-Black text with up to 17 ppm in black, up to 13 ppm in color.

-Since the size usually wanted in the dental office is 4x6 or 5x7, a 10 MB file can be compressed when sent to a good quality printer  This will produce a good printed graphic. 

-Dye-Sublimation printers are available just for high quality photo printing.  The Hi-Touch 630PS will work with the PC or as a stand-alone 4x6 color photo printer.
