From The Editor Future Color

Copies of the job were printed on a NexPress, an iGen3 and an HP3000 and distributed at the session, offering attendees—and myself—their first opportunity to compare the quality of the three most-hyped digital color printers using the exact same printed piece.

Hoping to stir controversy, I asked the audience to pick a favorite, but this induced nothing more than some uncomfortable seat shifting. And in fairness, there really was no winner. Each of the digital devices printed a slightly different-looking version of the piece, yet despite color variations, each looked great.
