OT Re: [SEL] Business Cards

I used a $800 dollar inkjet printer on high/photo resolution.
(thankfully sold it with the store - it was big)
Scanned images at 1200 dpi so I could tweak with no loss.
You can get very nice card stock, even glossy stock.
Each sheet took about 3 minutes to print.
Lexmark if I recall some models used to have a special chemical they use
that "fixes" inkjet ink as it prints for better resolution and longevity.
Canon photo printers are even better with smaller ink droplets, looks
better than laser for some uses.
