DRL, Thanks for the information. But I am not convinced for the information. As the business trend, when the price of color printers continue to drop, people like me will consider to buy color laser printers. Recently, I was doing research on whether I should go out and buy a colored laser printer with $2,800 dolloars from Minolta which is the cheapest color laser printer in the world. Both of us understand now the market has been fill out with colored Injet printers. Sooner or later people will recognized that it is too expensive to keep up buying cartridge for only use of 100 pages for injet printers and use up so much time for printing speed. So eventually people will upgrade from color injet to laser products.

Eventually I decided not to buy that color laser printer yet is because I personally feel Minolta did not come out with good photo results. My concern is that Xerox was doing good with its performance so that people buy it(Please see PC world magazine Dec). If Japanese OEMs can improve their technology issues then actually they can take advantage of low currency to compete with Xerox.

My concern with EFII is more toward with technology issue. Since companies have to pay high for color laser printers anyway, they want to get heart key point of photo results and get balance results for print outs and not just save $500 or $1,000.(Actually Minolta sell about $1,500 below other companies)

Hope my point will help for this thread. and welcome for the comments.
