Well, I dunno about "near laser quality" but the Deskjets are OK as far
as they go.  Yes they are definately are "Inkjets" they have little vials
of ink that they shoot at the paper.  The smearing problem has been mostly
solved by a new indellible ink that is now available.  The biggest factor
in Inkjet quality to me seems to be paper.  A nice smooth 20LB bond seems
to work best in mine.  Your milage may vary.
