I'm looking for recommendations for Macintosh typefaces for a specific
application. I need something that can be printed on a laserwriter, is
decent looking and photocopiable at smaller sizes and fairly compressed.
This face would be used for a relatively short newsletter where reproduction 
costs are a top priority, but we don't want to ship something that's
inexpensive but unreadable. 

I'm currently using Times Roman as the best compromise for small (9pt)
faces, but I'm thinking something like Helvetica Compressed might allow me
to squeeze the text a little more. Any suggestions on how to get the most
text on the fewest pages without turning it into a useless document?
