[aclug-L] Re: Color Postscript printer

[John Goerzen <jgoerzen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Tom,

Thanks for the recommendation.  I purchased this and I am *EXTREMELY*
pleased with it.  It normally retails for $500 - $600.  Its black
output is basically as good as that from my laser, and it's 8ppm.  I
think I can sell the laser for $300 and make a $200 profit and have a
better printer to boot :-)
