HI there...  I used to work for a Mac dealership in the state of 
Maryland in the States..  Theres a big bear of a printer we had on
display for the longest time.. I think it was from a company by 
the name of LaserMax  It did 1200dpi LICKITY-SPLIT... I don't
 remember how much it cost, but be prepaired to part with
the equivilant of near $10,000 in US dollars..  I don't know if they
make it anymore, but at anyrate, see if you can track down 'lasermax'
in the states.. I noticed you didnt give 'lasermax' in your list of
quotes, so they might have somethign for you... Also, check out a 
company in the US by the name of 'GCC'; they make a machien called
'selectPress' --it may do 1200, but not sure tho.....
