The problem with some inkjet printers is that if you use them a lot, the
running costs can be quite high.

The Apple Color LaserWriter 12/660 now costs a reasonable 2,200 pounds +
VAT plus 300 odd pounds for an extra three-year AppleCare warranty. It
obviously isn't the latest in technology, but you can't really go wrong
at that price. It cost about 5,000 pounds a couple of years ago.

It has a couple of drawbacks, but nothing major. E-mail me if you
require more details.

I have had the predecessor (the 12/600PS) for a couple of years now and
it is quite cheap to run and has been very reliable.
