The ink is what gets me tho. $$$$$$$ Yes, cheap printers have expensive ink (how else are the OEMs going to make= =20 money)? I recall reading a comparison study some time ago where different printers = were=20 compared to each other at various price points. Expensive ink and=20 unnecessarily wasteful printing-head cleaning cycles were the two main caus= es=20 for not jumping on the first cheap printer on sale. My experience with HP has also been trouble free. =2D-=20 Regards, Mick --nextPart1337688.kx0S2yLLZR Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAk6hFxUACgkQVTDTR3kpaLbEwgCfZHF4mZyXRdBxwTuv/GHsRmwc dcsAniFgjalZ7VDf+Ib9+fmMmwKQxPug =bJL9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1337688.kx0S2yLLZR--
