This is hard. I've got to replace my printer, which is dead. With an
inkjet machine, I believe that I wouldn't use the inks fast enough to
keep them from drying out, which is why the Laser printer looks
attractive to me. But I do get that it doesn't do photographic images
so well. The vast majority of my printing is done by someone else,
who's got the really great monitor, a killer calibrator, very
expensive printer that uses a lot of colors including 5 different
blacks, he tells me, and he does a great job. I wouldn't be printing
out many, if any prints. I just wanted something that might be
reasonable in case I needed something right away.
Is the issue that the colors don't match up right with lazer printers?
Does anyone agree that as far as laser printers go, the Epson Artisan
810 is the best or one of the better ones for this purpose?
Again, thank you all.
