Laser printer are getting cheaper now and they are easier to maintain and more economic to use in the long run. The main printer we use now is a 2.5 years old Samsung SCX-4200 (mono MFP). And my photo printer (Samsung SPP-2020, around 3 year old) is not an inkjet, it is using Dye Diffusion Thermal Transfer and it works well. The old Canon Inkjet is still alive but we seldom use it. -- Xiaofan http://mcuee.blogspot.com -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
