Would anyone who has seen DeskJet output and laser printer output care
to compare them qualitatively for me?
Two specific cases:
1.) Do DeskJet fonts look like they are letter quality?
2.) Are DeskJet graphics sharp and consistent -- something you wouldn't
mind taking to a printers for mass production copying?
Thanks,

Do DeskJet fonts look like they are letter quality? Yes. I have a DeskJet at home and I can't tell the difference between its output and a LaserJet. In 300 dpi mode, the DeskJet is considerably slower than a LaserJet, however. >2.)

I've used my DeskJet for newsletters and mailings and feel that the output is superb. There are a couple of disadvantages to the DeskJet. For one, the ink is water soluable; don't spill coffee on your output. Also, due to RAM limitations in the DeskJet, 300 dpi graphic outputs can keep your system busy for quite a while. I use 150 dpi until my final draft. Ron Abramson
