- Well, I dunno about "near laser quality" but the Deskjets are OK as far
- as they go. Yes they are definately are "Inkjets" they have little vials
- of ink that they shoot at the paper. The smearing problem has been mostly
- solved by a new indellible ink that is now available. The biggest factor
- in Inkjet quality to me seems to be paper. A nice smooth 20LB bond seems
- to work best in mine. Your milage may vary.
