RE:"One thing puzzles me. If you print that much, why not use lazers. They have got to be cheaper overall, quieter and faster"

I've been looking at Lasers. The ones that put out 4-5 ppm are around $1000-1500. That not the problem though. I'm doing a lot of full color brochures with pictures. Slows the Inkjets down to about 1 ppm. Well I thought maybe the lasers put out 4 ppm regardless of % of page/color etc. but apparently that slows them down to under 1 ppm as well. Or maybe that's for the first page. If I could get 4 ppm color on a laser vs 1 ppm on a inkjet I'd switch over.
