Colour laser printers and photos?

[Andrew Darlow]

Hi Ashley:

I have used a few different color lasers and with good paper like the  
ones linked to below, you can get semi-gloss images that look very   
much like photos. The Konica Minolta Magicolor laser and Dell color  
lasers (3100cn and similar) are both great choices.

or under office paper: www.storaenso.com/4cc *  you can launch a mini  
site and order samples.

Hope that helps,
