Amy,
because brides would rather spend their money on details of exquisite
paper
Again, to me, it seems like a misuse of resources to choose a fine paper, and then simply laser it, like putting cheap, narrow tires on a high-performance car.
Also, there are limitations of papers that are suitable for xerography (proper toner adhesion) that doesn't exist with "legitimate" printing processes.
And, like Dov, most desktop laser printing that I've seen does not compare well with other reproduction methods. But if there is a sizable market here (and there appears to be), then I would still choose a service provider who has a high-end digital press. Those are the closest in quality to offset and can be nearly indistinguishable. You also don't have to worry about the care and feeding of such equipment if you can make a special "wholesale" pricing deal with a local provider. (You tell the provider that you have to mark up the work and that you need his very best pricing. You tell him that you'll be a very regular customer if he provides appropriate pricing and service levels.)
