Bob… I have a Fargo at home and love it as a personal printer. I am a professional photographer so I have use of the Dye Sub capabilities that others don't. At work we have an Epson color stylus as our proof printer (makes fantastic color contact sheets from a PhotoCD or other digitized images). At 720 dpi it is incredible. I agree with you that I wouldn ' I agree with you, I wouldn't recommend the Fargo for the office but for home or small business use (at $499 now) it should be considered. We have a Kodak dye sub printer for the office ($10,000) and its materials cost the same per copy as the Primera's. My only wish is that the cost of dye sub ribbons and paper would come down. The output I am getting out of the Fargo is fantastic without even taking into consideration its initial low cost. ..Carl
