Canon PIXMA MX850

from www.bestbuy.com
they use two black inks, one for text, one for pics.the only down side besides bulkiness is that when printing two-sided documents, it uses the pic black ink and doesn't come out as black or crisp.

the traditional ccd or camera scanner is able to produce a very high number of colours from the scanned original and copes with folded documents reasonably well.
from "Steve the Sales Guy", www.abt.com
i put fresh paper in the cassette to print documents.
from www.amazon.com
once it was set up, documents print out flawlessly just as if it were connected to the printer via a usb connection.
from www.amazon.com
it makes it so much easier to print multiple 2-sided documents, because i don't need to stay by the printer to keep turning over piles of papers.

from Wiley, www.newegg.com
in a home or small business where the printer is used as brother suggests, you will be rewarded with fast delivery of clean and crisp documents, day after day.
from www.amazon.com
it pretty much does what it's supposed to do as far as black-and-white documents (your 1040, essays, homework, resume) go, which is good.
from www.amazon.com
due to the heat factor, it will temporarily curl envelopes and documents as they're produced, but they will be ok if you let them sit a little while.

from David English , computershopper.com
the graphics limitations, however, hinder its usefulness for documents such as newsletters and brochures.
from jantman, www.newegg.com
also, it occasionally chokes on documents printed via cups on linux, though i don't know if this is a driver or printer problem.
from dmoz, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: for someone who doesn't -need- to print color documents, this printer is amazing.
from GreenBrick, www.newegg.com
i have a separate scanner and wasn't interested in printing pictures or color documents, so this printer seemed like the best choice for my everyday b/w document printing needs.
from subsowespac, www.newegg.com
i would not recommend using it if you print a high volume of documents with a lot of graphics.
