Quality of Color printing III

Colored pictures appear harmonious, if the complexion is depicted well. To judge that is a matter of taste, of course, but if you compare several pictures you can easily detect if a complexion looks "natural" or morbid.

HP´s Color Laserjet 1600 and Lexmark`s C500n handle this test best, and HP´s 2700 shows the least raster.

Oki`s C3300n has a clearly visible color fault (blue).

All laserprinters have raster, which can be easily seen in the enlarged pictures. However, looking at the pictures with a naked eye you detect just a slight blur.

But all pictures lack the brilliane, inkprinters can come up with.
