Kodak made a major change in their price structure to actually front load the cost of the printer while most other manufacturers still basically give away the printer with the expectations of making profit on the selling of the ink. Hence, many individuals, especially college students purchase cheap ink-jet printers that can actually rival the output of many high priced color laser units and simply discard them in six months when the ink runs dry. Plus, they have the functionality of being able to plug those ink-jets into virtually any Microsoft product, sans driver and still have a fully functional device. By the way, PS is going the way of the dodo bird. PDF is quickly becoming the printing norm. If you are going to spend a significant amount of money on a printing device, make sure it supports native PDF. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
