While the subject of laser and ink-jet printers is about, I would like to ask a question concerning laser printers. Is it true that laser-printer documents fade away after a certain number of years? Don't know where I heard it, or even if it was laser printers they were talking about... Tony

Perhaps you were thinking of faxes, the fax paper deteriorates (sp?) after a year or two. I haven't heard similar about laser printing. rik. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rik Harris - Faculty of Computing and Information Technology, Monash University, Caulfield Campus (was Chisholm Institute), Australia edp367s@monu6.cc.monash.edu.au <-- what the computer says it is edp367s@monu6.cc.monash.oz[.au] <-- SEEMS to work more reliably Build a system that even a fool can use, and only a fool will want to use it. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rik Harris - Faculty of Computing and Information Technology, Monash University, Caulfield Campus (was Chisholm Institute), Australia edp367s@monu6.cc.monash.edu.au <-- what the computer says it is

No. You are thinking of thermal printers (like some Fax machines). Laser printers are basically carbon burned into the paper. Like a copy machine. -- John Sparks |D.I.S.K.
