You know, funny you should say that. The self same comment was
made in the mess room when they introduced them. They've been
about for around 2 months now.

And since colour printing tends to be an order of magnitude more
expensive than monochrome... *sigh*


Not any more. You'd be surprised how close to traditional
monochrome printing costs full colour is these days.


Are you talking about professional printing
(where the setup costs make up a large percentage
of the total will be the same for both)

or DIY photocopying?

ITYF that DIY colour photocopying is still 10 times the
cost of B/W.


Printing to what was more than a professional standard only a few years
ago has been greatly de-skilled by digital technology. It is true that
the highest quality work is still best performed by traditional
technology.
