[Ham-Computers] A Good Color Printer

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Thanks Jim.

Since I have not needed to purchase a color printer in about five years, too 
much has changed! There are way too many opinions out there. I just want a 
reliable color printer. It will get low use.

As far as printer paper goes, I do use good quality paper. I learned many 
years ago that print quality, regardless of who is doing the printing, is 
only as good as the materials that are used. Hence, I did a lot of PR 
printing being on stage etc.
