Dear Sciart members: I am asking this question separately to keep the labels clear on the e-mail. I must get a printer to finish my thesis and avoid the difficulties I had printing materials for my poster. I want to have something with art printing capabilities but do not want a slow printer when it comes to black and white print output, nor do I want to regularily shell out for expensive replacement supplies. Should I buy the cheapest laser printer I can get now and wait for later to get a better and hopefully improved inkjet? Should I get a cheap bubblejet with no color but quicker high resolution production? I've been looking in computer shopper at articles and talking to people but do not seeem to be able to resolve the issue either way. I'm not sure how large my budget is, it depends on how much debt I take on or what else I put off now. Otherwise around $300. Thanks, Miriam
