A client of mine is interested in getting a color laser printer and a
color scanner for use in the creation of presentation materials. Their
main output material will be OVERHEADS. Applications which will be used
include Microsoft Word and Excel, Aldus Persuasion, MacDraw Pro,
Kaliedagraph, and DeltaGraph.

I'm interested in people's opinions on color laser printers in the <$10K
price range.  We have a QMS ColorScript in another department, but I am
not that happy with it's performance.  What are the 'favorites' at this
point?

In addition, a color scanner is desired for bringing in materials from
the literature, photographs, and other output which cannot be mapped
into the Macintosh world easily. Ideally, software would be included in
the price of the scanner. Minimum desired resolution is 300 dpi.

Total cost on a system is open, but I think it would be best to stay
below $15K for the printer, scanner, and software.  Any input,
suggestions, or pointers are appreciated!
