My trusty Tektronix Phaser 780 is nearing the end of its useful life,
and I was wondering if anyone has a strong recommendation for a
tabloid-size color laser printer that could be used for color
proofing, using either settings in the printer driver, or color
management.
Doing my initial research back in 1998 or so, it seemed that
Tektronix was the only manufacturer that took color matching
seriously, documenting various settings for different press
conditions in its literature, where others seemed positively
clueless. That was the criterion I used to make my decision, and it
worked out rather well. Since then Xerox has bought Tektronics, and I
have been less than impressed by the color consistency of the Phaser
7700 and 7750 I have used in other settings. These days,
manufacturers of color laser printers seem to at least pay lip
service to the notion that their devices could be used for reliable
color proofing, so my original strategy will not work.
The contenders, as far as I can see, are the Konica-Minolta 7450,
RICOH CL7200, OKI C-9600/9800, Xerox Phaser 7400, and XEROX Phaser 7760.
Thanks in advance.
