The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
Regarding your question, the Technology Supplement of a local newspaper,
Yediot Achronot, had a long article about Colour inkjet printers saying
DON'T buy one now. In about 2 months time HP (and maybe Epson and others)
will be selling home-priced (appr. $300) color inkjet printers (I forgot
the model number they quoted) which print at much higher (photo-quality)
resolution. According to the article, these printers together with
popular digital cameras already available may mean the end of film
processing shops as we know them. The next generation of color printers
is just around the corner.
As far as my experience goes, current HP inkjets are very heavy duty and
reliable while current Epson printers may produce better quality output.
