[dba-Tech] Color Laser

Yeah, the cartridges cost, but you should be getting about 10,000 prints for
that.

Look through your catalogues at number of pages per cartridge, then compare
the prices.

I thought about delivering it on the CD but for $3k a pop I think they'll
expect a manual in a binder.  Gives the perception of added value anyway.

It is the cartridges that cost.  I can get an HP or Minolta color laser for
about $700.  But the carts are like $100 a piece.

So I'll have to compare to the cost of a copy store.
