[comp.periphs.printers] CMY versus CMYK

Hi,
I am looking at thermal wax transfer color PostScript printers available
in the market. Most of them allow you to use two types of color ink rolls
viz. the three color (Cyan-Magenta-Yellow) or the four color (Cyan-Magenta-
Yellow-Black) ink rolls. The life times and costs of these two types are
usually different. Can somebody tell me which one I should buy? And why?

And also, has anyone used the CalComp ColorMaster 6603/6613 ? If yes, did
you have any jamming problems with it and how is the quality of the output?

Please reply by e-mail to ss7a@uvacs.cs.Virginia.EDU and if anybody is
interested, I'll forward a summary of the reponses.

Thanks,

Sudhir.
