Colour laser printers and photos?

[Scott Anguish]

depending on your needs. I definitely get better quality 'pictures and  
photos' from the inkjet.  the color laser is good for charts and  
graphs. For straight up draft printing, my Brother laser can't be beat.



I recently bought a new Canon IP4300 to replace an IP4200 (ironically  
unnecessarily once I found the pen in the paper tray)

the IP4300 was $66 with ink.  And a total ink set was about the same.   
($15 each or so)

The laser on the other hand was about $300, and is significantly  
slower on bbw. EACH toner cartridege is $85 and is good for only 2000  
pages.

also the sales dude told me that the inkjet machines in this price  
range are basically a 2 year product.

	I've not heard about this clogging... is this an issue with modern  
printers?
