Like my Lexmark t522n

It was substantially cheaper than a comparable HP when I got it, but the prices may be closer now. I think it has excellent print quality and the Win drivers have a lot of nice options. Hmm. It looks like the [link\|http://www.lexmark.com/US/products/tech_specs/0,1231,MTk3Nnwx,00.html\|W820n] might be reasonable for you - up to 45 ppm, 11x17, PS3, 156 PS fonts, support for a zillion OSes, etc., etc. I can't comment on it though. They've got cheaper 11x17 boxes too, like the [link\|http://www.lexmark.com/US/products/overview/0,1224,MzM2M3wx,00.html\|W812 ]for $1200 list. HTH. GL! Cheers, Scott.

I mean - I know there's some license fee to Adobe for the real stuff - is there an important difference that only Real PS can provide? Every PS job I've thrown at mine has looked great. Thanks. Cheers, Scott.
Post #108,255 by broomberg 7/2/03 7:04:16 PM Reply	Yup But only for a prepress environment. PS emulation is great if the final product is prinitng on the printer. But in our case we generate all the work locally that then goes to a real print shop. It is very important that we print locally EXACTLY what the print shop will print, no variation allowed. PS emulation is always a SLIGHT bit off, in sizing, scaling, placement, etc. So a perfectly aligned graphic will print screwed up even though it looked great locally.
