If you want *good* color, look into Xerox.  Seriously.  They are
not as costly as you may be expecting.

My experience with inkjet is that it produces inferior results,
and saves little or no money if you consider the cost of ink,
esp. when you have to pitch a 3/4-full cartridge because it
clogged up.  BT, DT.

And no, I don't work for Xerox.
