Sue I suggest that you look long and hard at a color laser printer. I am
making the assumption that you will use a network or a print server
system. the quality should be better for your lab, the speed will be
about the same as four ink jet printers. The overall upkeep should be
lower. The initial cost may be a little higher, but I think that in a
lab you will be better served with a high volumn laser.
