It's one of the best photo printers in the under 500 CHF range.<BR/><BR/>It can do a very good quality photo up to 8 x 10. We don't need larger than that very often.<BR/><BR/>We never intended to use the fax option. But now that we have it, GLH seems to think we should!Global Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14829642620261054318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33053911.post-21412861790752978362007-02-12T10:39:00.000+01:002007-02-12T10:39:00.000+01:00Heh, he's got fax software and a softmodem standar...Heh, he's got fax software and a softmodem standard on his PC (do a search in setup (printers&faxes) and in accessories/communications), so a scanner/printer coulda done the job for less moolah.
