Pretty much agree. I like Brothers network laser myself, and have used a series of those for most of the past 20 years. But be careful about third-party ink. L

Pretty much agree. I like Brothers network laser myself, and have used a series of those for most of the past 20 years. But be careful about third-party ink. Laser printing is harsh — heating just the right dots to very high temperature, and just the right high temperature if you're doing more than monochrome, is tricky business. The printers don't print a matrix of pixels any more. Rather, the printer firmware is generally written with a particular ink in mind. It knows the particle sizes in the ink and how they react to different temperatures.
