? What percent of the printing will be for photos? My HP 7960, which uses 8 colors, can swap the photo black/gray cartridge for an all black one to save on ink and print faster. I suspect that other inkjets do the same. If speed of printing is important, then get one of the Canon printers

Hi Leon I had the chance to print for free on a friends Canon A3 CP660 color laser printer some times ago. In the default settings, the pictures where way too dark and to much red and blue. Interestingly, Red seems to be the most critical color to print. The printer can be adjusted in it's menus

Hi Shel color prints from my Epson 2100 on good paper are *much* better than from the color lasers I have seen. Color lasers are very good for business chart prints but not for *critical* photos like portraits with skin tones or large uniform areas of color. I think I already know the results of
