I picked up a sample printout from the Deskwriter at HP's booth at
MacWorld. A few hours later, I rubbed it with my thumb and made a huge
smear. Someone said you can get special paper to get around this
problem. Was HP using the wrong paper to show off their printer???
Other than this, it would meet our needs-- the print quality is
adequate and it's probably quiet enough to not wake the baby. I'd hate
to have to spend double the money for a laser printer (if indeed I
could find one for that )...
How do people deal with the smudging problem?
Thanks,
Chet.

Was HP using the wrong paper to show off their printer??? No. The ink used by the DeskWriter is water soluble. > How do people deal with the smudging problem? 1. Handle output carefully. 2. Wait for HP to release their new non-smudging ink. Rumor has it that the new ink should show up around the end of July. ------------ The only drawback with morning is that it comes at such an inconvenient time of day. ------------
