Hi Barry,
Thanks for your comments. I've asked the various laser printer manufacturers
under consideration to send me print samples. So far only Okidata has
responded... (I'm wondering if this may also be an example of the customer
service one might expect in the future ;)... and I have to say their output
quality looks very good. I'm still waiting on samples from the other
manufacturers. Thanks again!
