Recommend a printer for low volume but good quality print?

Hi, can anyone recommned a colour printer, capable of duplex printing, for a small home office. I have low volume printing but the quality would still need to be reasonably good for pictures. The pictures are printed on standard office paper. I currently use a Xerox Phaser 8560 (which uses solid ink) and the quality is fantastic but I'm going to have to get rid of it for financial reasons. I also don't like the fact that it's supposed to be kept on at all times. Turning it off and on is against the manufacturers guidelines. The cheaper the better but I know it's won't be dirt cheap either so whatever recommendations anyone has is much appreciated. Thanks,.

1. Go to the Epson website and see what's in your price range. Best quality printers
2. A laser is better than an inkjet for everything except high resolution photos. If you must have hi res photos, you need an inkjet. Otherwise get a laser. The advantages of a laser are: faster and sharper print (except photos), low per page cost, low volume is no problem. You can leave it off for months and it will still work. A laser can do reasonable photos that will look pretty good, just not high resolution. With an inkjet, if you dont use it on a regular basis, the ink dries up and clogs so it's not recommended for very low volume.
3. I can understand your situation. I work for an office equipment supplier that offers products like the Xerox Phaser 8560, as well as more affordable office copiers and printers for home businesses like yours. We can work with you to arrange a sale, lease or rental to fit your budget. I can't really give you a quote on Yahoo! Answers without know more about your situation, but if you're interested, please check out my copy machine leasing company at http://www.worldtradecopiers.com. Once we understand your budget and printing demands, we can recommend affordable solutions with the quality you're looking for. Good luck!
