Verifying Authenticity of W600's
 

Posted By: <b>Phil Garry</b><p>I recently purchased a W600 and want to make sure it is an original and not a reprint. The center photo has been trimmed from the borders so it measures considerably short on all four sides. My main questions is should the photo, under magnification, be an array of black and white print dots or should it be like a real photo with one continuous image?<br /><br />Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
