Carl, I understand and share your concerns. One of the first items I acquired as equipment last year was the HP 500C printer. Thast was after I received a bid of $2400 for printing of cover letters, 3nd sheets, cards, envelopes etc. I decided to buy the printer, roll my own stationery, and pocket the difference for other needs….Still using it for that purpose, as well as for business letters, etc. Again, the drivers are the critical factor here…as well as the glossy paper for prints. I've not experienced any particular drying out of one color prematurely. My stationery uses a predominant red color in the script. As for prints being darker, I strongly suggest you adjust your monitor with a test pattern for both color and grey scales. I'm sure these are available on the forums, if not call me (312-538-8784-phone & fax) and I'll be happy to send you a tga file I use for this purpose. Sample prints being forwarded under mail.
