My wife does editing and had a need for fast printing of large documents including color for comments etc. We went with a large Ricoh printer about 10 years ago. Still in use after about 300,000 pages. At the time we had a PhotoJet for printing pictures. The quality of the laser prints was sufficient for our needs so the PJ sits in a closet. One thing that helps the appearance of laser printed photos is to use a heavy, high gloss paper. Jon -- Jon H. LaBadie jon@xxxxxxxxxx 11226 South Shore Rd.
