No, that would have been right... it has a much weaker dynamic range than the 
inkjet systems we were looking at. That doesn't mean its not a beautiful 
print. One can choose to work in a low dynamic range system, or one can choose a 
flexible solution, and for some images choose a low dynamic range, when 
appropriate. That can make lovely results, with a weak dynamic range, just as 
watercolors do.
