I’ll be more excited about this when it actually gets a release date, price, and specs. Until then it’s vaporware
Seen this a few times but still no release date.
I would expect lots of pushback from corpos on this because it wouldn’t implement tracking dots.
Why wouldn’t it implement tracking dots?
Why would it?
My first thought about this is give me a printer that is too cheap to replicate a dollar!
Also cram every technique in that will reduce print times, ink usage, and maybe other issues like ink smear (low-overlap halftone?). Something that will probably be perfectly fine for a bar chart or image macro (especially if it does so in relation to human perception), but nowhere close to looking like real currency. Typewriter strikes of ASCII chars like
░▒▓🮘🮐🮕🮁for all I care if it the image is readable at typical viewing distance.EDIT: I like 12-bit RGB (AKA 3-digit hex color codes, 4096 colors) but this doesn’t exactly translate to CMYK because hex codes are in RGB. I guess a custom filter could still round it to 15-levels per channel (K perhaps could have more levels). Maybe something similar to color profiles for dithering/rounding? Or maybe CMYK having a lower gamut already means this isn’t a great idea.
Pushback how?
They just complain that they need help licking the boot?
