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?

I got rid of my consumer epsons because of all the ink clogs and the price of inks. Epsons consumer models have real problems. I now have a canon ip3000 and an ip5000. I love them. The ink is inexpensive and they just do not have the problems that the epsons do.

Check out my post on the first page about how to adapt the canons. The tray is hard to get and the front rollers are nearly impossible. FYI, I just got a shipment of 6 set of rollers from thailand for the pixma printers. It took me 3 months for them to arrive. (If you live outside of the americas, the canon printers are enabled from the factory for cd printing)

I like the glossy photo paper from costco. Works great for covers. 120 sheets for $19.
