printer opinions

[Brian Cluff]

13,000ish for each color.

It sounds like you are looking to do photo work with your printer. If 
you want something that looks like a photo then you don't want any laser 
printer.  Laser printers print too crisp.  You need something that will 
allow inks or dyes to run together a little bit.

So you'll want to get an inkjet or dye sublimation printer.

If I were you, I would look at what it costs to just get things printed 
at walmart or some other place.  I think you'll find that it's worth it, 
especially when you consider that the yield numbers are based on a 5% 
coverage.With photos your coverage is much much higher so every print 
will be more like printing 20 pages worth of ink taken out of every 
cartride, so you'll be eating through inkjet cartridges after 50ish 
prints.  Just get yourself a decent inkjet for when you need something 
quickly.
