There are two currently available. There was a review of the both of them in Byte magazine in the April or May issue. They were a little unflattering. The main problems with them are threefold: They offer no cost avantages over Laser Printers, they are based on the Ricoh engine and neither support Postscript, which I consider a necessity if you are going to spend this kind of money. Another burgeoning technology to be paying attention to is Bubble jet technology. Canon has supposed made a real breakthrough, and will be introducing new models later this year. We are talking 300+ dpi resolution (possibly in color), for less than a thousand dollars. --hal
