	I, finally, scrapped my old HP color inkjet printer for a new Ricoh Aficio 
CL3000e color laser printer, last month, and it was the best thing I've ever 
done. Here's a couple of reviews:

It's now selling for around $900. It's a single pass printer, so color prints 
almost as fast as B&W (approx 20ppm) and it has one of the cheapest costs per 
page of color laser printers. And, as a bonus, it has native Adobe PS 3 and a 
one year on-site warranty.
