Ok, here's the question. There is an ad in the latest issue (July) of Amiga World for Creative Computers (page 59) which offers (among many other things) something called the "Inkmun Full Color Kit" which apparently allows full color printing on a DeskJet printer. As I have a Deskjet+ printer, I'm very interested if this thing works well. The price is only $34.95 and so seems like a very reasonably priced "upgrade" for the printer. Does anyone have one of these things? Does it work? Is it a pain to switch between normal black printing and color printing? Any information at all would be appreciated.

You get three ink catrages, red, green, blue, plus the black. (Whoops, thats 4). Then the program will break your picture up into those four color slices. You put in the red, say print red. Then refeed the paper for the colors. Seemed like OK output. Nothing to get too excited about. I wouldn't use it for any professional project, better off with a service. ---------- Ryan Sheftel UUCP: uunet!cbmvax!amix!undrground!ryan Internet: undrground!ryan@amix.commodore.com
