Maybe giclee fine art color printers in the $20,000+ range, but I doubt 
it.

A way to improve digital B&W printing is to print in duo-tone or even tri-
tone. There are third party adaption kits for Epson printers to do this.

For slide printers, probably only the high-end Kodak LVT printers support 
48 bit. It uses a laser as source. Other film recorders, like the polaroid 
palette, use a CRT as source and thus have a more limited contrast and 
tonal range.
