Hi Gil, Yep, that is the problem. As I mentioned in my original post 80% of the pages printed have a picture (identification photo) on them hence the need for the better quality photo printing of an inkjet over a laser. In this case the quality of the printed documents is directly related to the professional image of the Company.
