[Year 12 IPM] colour printers

[Robert Ruzbacky]

Thanks Sandra (and others for your responses). I'll keep them in mind. I
was asking more as a possible exam question as some of my students think
that the book is "right" all the time. A bit like my maths methods
students thinking that the back of the book answers are always correct
(found a few mistakes already :))

Regards,
