I want to make it clear.  A dye-sub printer shouldn't show ANY dots.  There
is no dithering at all.  The colors get squished together so that the print
has smooth colors, just like an original photograph.  Dye-sub is different
(and more expensive) technology than any other kind of printer, very
pretty.
