Well Steve, I went over to a computer store and saw what the color printout of the Star NX1000 Rainbow and was not impressed. I also saw what the color printout of a HP Inkjet was and "WOW". I also found out how much they cost and to run. Each of the ink/paint wells runs up to $30 a peice and for that price just to color printouts for home use is just to much. I may just get a 24 pin printer (probably the Star 2400) but I can't justify getting such an expensive printer. I may still get the 24 pin color printer or one that has the option of going color, but I'm going to wait until someth catches my eye. You told me what your printer retails for (and who nowadays pays the retail price anyway) but what did you pick it up for and where. I'll either go mail order or wait for a christmas sale. Thanks for the reply, I've learned a lot from this series of messages. Thanks, /////Billy///////
