- I just replaced an ImageWriter II with a DW 550C last week. I purchased 500
- sheets of Hammermill Laser Print paper (Stock# 10460-4) based on the
- recommendation of the computer store that sold me the printer. Cost was just
- under $8. If I remember correctly, I bought 2500 sheets of tractor-feed
- computer paper for the IW II for around $20. So yes, the paper's going to
- cost more to use in the DW. However, I won't be wasting as much paper, so I
- think the overall cost shouldn't be that different. Besides, the output
- is so much nicer from the DW, especially color, the added expense is worth it.
