We are using an HP8550 as a network printer.  I am currently looking to
replace it with a multifunction machine (scans, prints, copies, faxes).
I've never used the printer for bar codes.  We do print a lot of maps and
photographs.  Some of the photos are of mineral specimens so being able to
see slight variations in colour is important.  In this respect the printer
is great.  The quality of the print jobs are terrific, however, the machine
takes a long, long time to calibrate at the start of a print job and even
with memory upgrades one has to send large files like PowerPoint
presentations, 20 pages at a time.

Subject: Color Printers


Our Firm is currently looking at alternatives for our color printer (we
currently use an Epson 3000).  We use the color printer for barcode
labels, integrating it with Color Bar Gold.  We're interested in
feedback from our peers out there.

Any suggestions for a quality color printer that has minimal maintenance
issues?
