Hi, [One request at the beginning: Could you please reply to this message instead of posting a follow-up? This is because I can't read news for a week or so. Thanks much.] I'd like to have your opinion about a certain printer called "Texas Instruments microLaser Pro 600." This is a 8 ppm PostScript printer with 6 megs of RAM and 23 fonts. - Does this printer produce any ozone (at all)? If it DOES produce ozone, has it got a built-in filter? - Is 6 megs enough for printing a full 600x600 A4 page (297mm x 210mm) in PostScript? If I want to expand the memory, does the printer accept standard SIMMs, or does it need much more expensive proprietary expansion cards? - What is the price for replacement toner cartridges and photo drums compared to other printers, like the LaserJet 4? Please indicate whether it's about the same price, or much cheaper/more expensive. - Is having 23 fonts only a problem? I have a lot of Adobe Type 1 fonts that came with some of the packages I bought (as binary .PFB fonts.) I guess I can use them as if they were built into the machine? - What about the price? It's only DEM 1500 (about $1000.) This seems extremely cheap? Any other considerations/caveats? Thanks very much for every reply I receive. I will post a summary if I get enough response.
