Those numbers are marketing weapons. Comparing the same image printed
on both printers, I found them indistinguishable, though they're
both superior to the Lambda in my opinion. If you haven't already,
you might consider questions such as:
- How much time is spent in daily calibration
- How fast will it print a full roll of paper
- Can you print unattended overnight
- How much material waste in leader & cut-off
- If you need a RIP, can you RIP directly to the printer or is it RIP
first, then print
- Maintenance costs (lasers vs. LEDs)
- Any user replaceable parts or do you need a tech
- Service contract
Have fun!

I shopping for a new dital photo printer and would like some
clarification
regarding visual resolution. The Chromira prints at 300ppi with 425
"visual
resolution", the Lightjet specs say it can print at 300ppi with 4000+
"apparent halftone resolution". Are we talking apples and apples here?
Is there a difference between visual resolution and apparent halftone
resolution, and how is that determined with continious tone prints?
Any opinions on Lightjet 430 vs Chromira5x?
Thanks
