How well did it perform? It was so good that when Better Light showed their version in the HP booth at Photokina with comparisons of several original paintings and their respective Z-3200 prints side by side, people had to touch the original to tell the difference. The prints were produced on HP Canvas at the same size as the originals, then mounted on stretchers so they looked like paintings. Some people even guessed incorrectly that the prints were the originals.

This software is still available from Better Light as their ColorSage software and Ergosoft as their Studio Print DFA Edition.
