@tek In my brief stint in sales when I was the 17-Year Old Smart Kid I sold the original HP 550DJ and the HP 750DJ Color (And their cost was almost exactly their model number no kidding) it was Huge. People could afford laser quality at a 1/3 to 1/4 the barrier to entry but upkeep was 1/10 of TCO.
Naturally An Executive figured out a way to completely fuck that up.
It might actually be cheaper and easier to own a laser these days.
