David, Just finished a review of color printers for Amiga World, and unfortunately I know of no one printer that will meet all your requirements. The closest might be the HP-1200 (did not test this one; couldn't get 'em to lend us one). Color & 600×300 dpi (I think). Supposed to be a new version of the 550, called the 560 with same dpi. Hp 550 will handle up to 36 lb. stocks, so 560 and 1200 probably will too. By the way, take dpi ratings with grain of salt when it comes to color. The dither you use and therefore the number of colors you print in will change that resolution. rule of thumb: more colors you want to print, the lower the effective resolution. Hope that helps Gary on AutoPilot from Charlotte, NC
