These were introduced at the comsumer level in 2000-2001 for $1000.00. It was said at that time one couldn't tell the difference between the output of this printer and professional photo film processing. It's closest competitors at that time were in the thousands. It does 8x10 (or close to it) and that is key here. This is a closeout, but just the MPLS/STP area has 4 in Blane, 2 in Eagen, and 2 in Forest Lake. I am not sure about the rest of the country. Fast forward to today, and I don't think one can get a dye sub printer that does 8x10 less than 10X this price. I am not talking about the small ones here, or 4x6 ones. I guess this technology hasn't changed much. Consumables are expensive, it takes it's own special paper, but check Office Max for those at close out also. Ribbon UPC 050332142459. Olympus has discontinued production, but one of their techs told me they still will service them. Why this old tech printer and not an inkjet? Google is your friend!
