Well, since I feel responsible for starting this, I'll note that the web page claims "True Gray Scale image reproduction." But, again, I can't remember for sure--I just recall being impressed by the reproduction of graphics, and I doubt that a b&w image would have looked impressive. I could be wrong, though.

The URL I gave last time isnt' so hot. Try http://www.minoltausa.com/minolta/low/static_home.html for starters and then search for "DPCS 3000"; better yet, call a Minolta jobber.
