Panasonic Tru Photo Printer

Has anyone had any experiences with the Panasonic Tru Photo
Printer? It claims to produce real photographs. It produces
3.5x5 photographs on thermo-autochrome paper (sort of expensive...).
I found an advertisement in "Wired" with a pointer to their
web site: http://www.truphoto.com/
Thanks,

I had a chance to play with the printer last week. It comes with
MGA Photo Suite which is OK. The photo were very good.
640x480 images from my Casio QV-100 looked very clean but the
printer produced great prints from higher resolution materials such as
PhotoCD which we tried. It appears that the printer will work at what ever
resolution that can
be sent by the PC. There are no controls on the printer; everything is
operated thru software and the printer driver.
Great item for $399

How much is the paper, and how fast is the printer? I want to cut
out the print stage after film process, using my Nikon Coolscan.

For another hundred bucks and a couple month's wait, you could get a photo
printer that does real photo 8x10s, much lower cost per photo, and can
print 300 dpi text on plain paper.
