<snip long post about different people printing the same image file>

Personally, I think this is an interesting idea, and one I was planning
to do on a smaller level with Yume Grot.  We were going to swap image
files and print each other's images on our own 1280s and compare them.
However, I think there are more variables in this mix than just the
methods we're using for printing.  I suspect that the software,
operating system, monitor, and even your particular version of whatever
printer you use all could have a profound affect on the end results.  So
all of that information would have to be listed and taken into
consideration, and it may not provide much information that could be
applied across the board to the masses.  But it would show what could be
achieved by individual set-ups, and I still think it's interesting
enough to try.  I'd be up for it.

Thanks,
Ed
