Yep -- color is much more saturated and for black & white prints blacks were
much more black -- and getting a run with consistently good registration was
nearly impossible (though a print here and there came out right on).  If you
want to try it out I suggest using a tractor feed mylar with the paper taped
to it which improves registration considerably (but not perfectly).
