That cost/per/page figure the free lifetime black ink they've been
giving away? ;-)

They are nice, but beware...Tek just sold their color printing division
to Xerox. I don't know what Xerox will be doing with them.

Xerox makes damn fine printers, but they tend to be gold-, nay,
platinum-plated machines. With diamond inlays...

Their reps swear they're selling reasonably priced desktop machines, but
they always tell us that as they also tell us we need their latest and
greatest $150,000 network printers ;-)

(Having said that...if you need good largescale networkable
printers/copiers, their DocuPrint series are verrah nice, verrah nice
indeed.

We got two here to replace our copiers and network B&W printers, and
they are way fast and reliable, real PostScript, too. Xerox is playing
nice with Adobe for the moment.)
