1. A Review for ARTISTS
If you are just in the market for a machine that prints in duplex, is networked, does X number of pages per minute, you have dozens of choices -- you can read through the other reviews for their comments.
But if you are a creative soul, the kind who wants to print on metallic paper, or decal, or make t-shirts and transfers and all kinds of other things that make most other printers keel over and die, this is the machine for you.
Back in the day, the old monster copy machines used fuser oil, which kept the fancy papers from sticking to the hot fuser as it heat-pressed the toner into place. When smaller machines came about, the manufacturers got rid of the fuser oil and ran the machines hotter -- a short hot fuse vs. a longer, cooler one. All those specialty papers that were developed for the old machines would just melt onto the fuser roller. And soon those companies started making their larger machines the same way.
Most artists I know solved this...
2. Good quality work horse
I have had the distinct pleasure of watching the industry change with hands on experience through the decades. Back in my advertising days, I remember spending millions of yen (tens of thousands of dollars) on the latest and greatest super high tech Canon color laser printer, with a separate tower computer sized postscript rasterizer and a mind-blowing 128MBs of RAM.
Since then, I've owned lots and lots of HP printers, a few Brothers and Canons here and there, and a smattering of Epsons.
Most recently, about a year or two ago, somewhere in there, I was at Fry's on the hunt for a new printer because the full duplex HP2200 network printer I had was falling apart and jamming constantly, even after doing the full roller upgrade.
Until this latest breakdown, I never considered it a big deal to spend $2K+ on a rock solid printer, but while I knew inkjet would be unacceptable for my uses, I deeply loathed the idea of spending that much on a printer...

Beautiful prints, Windows/Mac differences though
This printer is clearly designed for the office market or for a user who needs a solid color printer for business. Because of that, it is large, heavy, and the consumables are comparatively expensive when you look at a consumer-level inkjet. It includes postscript printing capability so you can print EPS files cleanly, though I believe it is interpolating and not true postscript since it seems to take longer to print postscript files. For business, especially if you need to do charts and graphs or print razor sharp text, this does a great job. I tested it out on several charts and graphs and they were all exceptionally sharp and showed fine detail in pie charts with textured wedges. The output is beautiful, crisp, bright and detailed. Photos that I printed showed fine detail on small images of faces and good color range. I printed a variety of photographs which included both close-up and distance shots of faces. Even the far away shots showed good detail on small faces. The sort of...
