What paper is the best/safest for laser printers (not color)? I purchased the Brother 2040 B/W laser printer.

The photos are pretty sharp and I want to use the highest possible quality paper that is the safest to use on the laser printer. I would like to get the most professional looking results possible with a laser printer. However, finding that paper is proving rather daunting! Thanks for all your help!

Why are people not adopting Color Laser printers? I am considering to buy a color laser printer. Despite prices for color laser printers have fallen, I think not many people are buying them.

What's more you can have the flexibility to print color if I want to anytime too. I wonder if this is true. Oh yes, what brands/models would be a good short list and if I have to choose one brand/model, which should stand out clearly from the rest? Thanks..

What color laser printer offers the highest resolution for under $500?

My color logo in Word prints with tiny dots on the edge on a B&W printer. How can I get rid of the dithering? The BW printer is a high en HP Laserjet, and the dots on the outside of the logo don't appear to show up if the logo is made in black instead of the company blue. On other printers it looks better, and on the color printer it is great. But this one printer looks like a tiny trail of ants walking around all of the letters. Why? Thanks for the feedback.... I haven't done the clean printer option and will do that today. And a B&W logo prints fine on the printer - very crisp. The dots along the outside are uniform and regularly spaced, so I'd guess it is how the colors are interpreted by the printer. The HP color printer next to it looks great if that means anything.
