Any > particular reason you need to have PostScript Level 3? I think it is like buying a HP LJ II just after the III's came out and they had discontinued the II's. You are basically at EOL and it is only time until the software starts using features in the new version. I think that required about two years. Printed output suddenly started being noticeably different. I think that in business, your printed output is the first product someone will see. Even your envelopes add or subtract from your business persona. This could be a little bit overboard but I think that there are some real side effects. I completely argree with YMMV. It is a heads up decision that people have to make. They may never notice the difference. Kent > > Bruce. > > PS. I've been quite satisfied with both of these.
