I forgot about this thread totally!!!
After reading all your replies, I have to say that I'm reconsidering the laser printer I was planning on buying and I'm intrigued by the acrylic idea as well.
I started looking at the Epson R300 and I like it more and more, especially after reading opinions like MeBeJedi's and Rikter's, whose opinions I consider gold on these boards.
Just a few quick questions....
I have heard that inkjet printers tend to dry up and don't print well. I had a canon that did this and was why I switched to a black and white laser printer. Is there a problem with the inkjets drying up or not printing properly after not using them for a while?
Also, do inkjet printings look better depending on the paper you use? Like if you use the super nice glossy paper as opposed to plain white legal?
