The Stylus Photo 2100 is a truly superb printer. It offers fast, cost effective printing of an exceptional quality. The printer is beautiful to behold and is near silent in operation.  It is easy to setup and install, and offers USB 2.0 and Firewire (IEE1394) as standard . This printer offers an ideal solution for high quality image output for printing X-Rays, CT 3D reconstructions, Ultrasound images and photos from endoscopy / arthroscopy.  It offers versatile paper handling, with options for roll paper to save on costs.  The addition of a light black colour provides the best greyscale reproduction for X Rays and Ultrasound that I have seen, and photos printed at high quality on photo paper are as good (if not better) than photos from a lab.  A printer as close to perfect as I have seen.
