Hi,
Our Epson photo 720 has just died (gunge in the printheads,
from what I can tell), and it's cheaper to throw it away than to
repair it...
So, I'm wondering: Do the current generation of colour laser
printers do a good job when attached to Gimp of rendering
photo-quality output? Or should I look for another epson inkjet?
I'd much rather a laser printer, other things le=being equal, because
they're much cheaper to run, they tend to be faster, the output is
more waterproof, etc., etc.
I've been looking at the Lexmark C720, which claims 2400dpi
effective resolution (600dpi base resolution), and which comes
standard with a PostScript engine. None of the local shops have one
to try out; what I want is to be able to take photo slides scanned at
2700dpi and produce A4 prints from them, that are at least magazine
(e.g., National Geographic) quality, preferably better.
