Recommendations for a solid workhorse black-and-white
desktop laser printer
New
reviews of 1200 dpi 11x17 inch monochrome laser printers that can handle
photographs and fine graphics.
 Most people automatically think of Hewlett Packard
when they go to buy a laser printer. But it is worthwhile taking a look
at the Lexmark, QMS, and GCC.
Lexmark began its corporate life as an offshoot
of IBM. Lexmark quickly created printers that were better than anything
IBM itself had ever produced! Now Lexmark is independent, and doing quite
well. In laser printers they specialize in network printers for large
offices. This means that their printers can hold up under all kinds of
conditions of heavy use.
The picture shows a Lexmark Optra R black and white
printer in the FLAAR office. We also have a Lexmark Optra N 11x17 inch
size black and white plus a Lexmark Optra 1275 color laser.
In the two years since we tested the Lexmark we
have found out that the quality of GCC printers is better.
If you wish to experience the
1200 dpi photo-quality of a GCC printer in your own office, and learn about the various options and solutions provided by GCC 1200
dpi printers, contact Bob Kinsella, e-mail bkinsella@gcctech.com

If you would like help in deciding what color
laser printer or which black-and-white laser printer to buy, just
send an E-mail to flaar_maya@yahoo.com and our
main reviewer, Nicholas Hellmuth, will do his best to help out. Keep
in mind he is opening up a new digital imaging test and review center
in Guatemala and expanding his test center in Germany, so it may take
a day to respond. Be sure to indicate what kinds of images you
need to print, what size, and be realistic in your budget projections.

were considering before reading the reviews of laser printers here.
