Hi,

I am looking to buy a laser printer with the highest possible output
resolution available today. Print speed (ppm) isn't as important to
me. Does anybody have a good recommendation?

Thank you for your time and input.

Regards,

Jim Light

Read the review in PCWorld and PCMag. They have all of the reviews and
some of the specs with links to the mfg website for the rest.

I'll second this. Resolution is but one factor in image quality, and
today, it has become less of an issue than how the print engine creates
and applies the ink or toner. Truly, the eye tells all with the color
printers of today.

In terms of color inkjet printers, also be careful in determining the
original fill of the toner cartridges. Since, like with inkjets, the
cost have been shifted from the printer hardware, to consumables (toner,
drums or transfer belts, etc) watch our for partial filled cartridges.
Since most printers are rated by 5% coverage per color, look for the
yield of the supplied cartridges. Some can be as little as 1500 copies
while others can be 7500. That's five times as much yield.

As an example, I know of two color laser models which are from the same
company. One has over twice the toner per cartridge, has networking and
has twice or more the duty cycle, for only $50-75 more on the initial
purchase. With the current crop of lower end color laser printers, the
cost of consumables can easily eclipse the price of buying another machine.
