- Alps MD-2300 Masterpiece parallel interface printer
            - An image processing program (such as ADPro or ImageFX) capable
              of writing files in color separated raw (Sculpt) format with
              .red, .grn, and .blu extensions

This is a functional demo version of a program for printing images on the
Alps MD-2300 Masterpiece printer using its photographic quality (dye-sub)
mode. 

The Alps MD-2300 Masterpiece printer is a low cost combination dry ink and
dye-sub printer. (The so-called "inks" are actually ribbon cartridges.) In
dye-sub mode, using the special photographic ink cartridges, it is capable
of near continuous tone photographic quality printing, which makes it one
of the lowest cost printers in this category. Until now, there have been
no print drivers available to utilize the photographic quality mode with the
Amiga. 

PhotoPrint is not a true print driver, as it does not link into
the operating system to be called by other programs.  Rather, it is a
program which allows one to select an image file, resize and position it
on the page, and print it.  I wanted to get it working as soon as possible
and concentrated solely on that problem, so I made no attempt to reinvent
other software tools which are readily available and do those jobs better
than I could duplicate.  Any color balancing, image rotation, contrast
adjustment, etc. must first be done in an image processing program of your
choice.  The image must then be saved in raw red, green and blue files, or
"Sculpt" format. Programs such as ImageFX or ADPro will save in this
format.

Printing is done directly from disk file to the printer or to another file,
if desired. 

The demo version is limited to printing on 4x6" paper stock. For the full
version, capable of printing on 8.5x11" paper, send $15 (U.S.) check or
