Testimonial: "I enjoyed your workshop a great deal. I felt that you were giving us cutting edge techniques. I don't know of any one who is experimenting and sharing the results in the way that you are have done. Brad's knowledgeable assistance and his fabulous equipment is a unique situation for a workshop. I may try to take it again." (October 2007, Larry Larsen)

We mention this printer because it comes on Windows with "... a new software feature - Facial Retouch – that enables consumers to enhance their personal photographs right at home by reducing blemishes and enhancing facial features in just one click...". We had seen a demo and we thought it was a very nice feature.
