Okay, wow. First of all Billege - I appreciate your concern, but I am doing nothing to violate Staples policies, thanks.

Second, Mondak - Thanks for defending me and I do know that paper makes all the difference is printing quality. For instance, if you have an InkJet printer and you use Laser Printer paper the ink will smear, and if you use inkjet on laser the quality is awful, so you want to make sure you get the printer specific paper, brands don't really make much of a difference, but i have had problems with HP Laser paper, the toner doesn't seem to fuse to one side, which makes for an inconvience. Personally I like the PaperMill paper the most. As for your other question, an inkjet that i really like is the HP 6540, which is sold at $149.99. A photo printer that we just got in, it's a beast for size, is the HP Photosmart 8540, which is expensive, not sure if it's worth it, sold at $299.99. One that i do like and isn't ridiculous is the 7760 for 149.99. As for color laser I personally like the Okidata 5100n for $349.98.

Last Xepidemic I do not know of any way to find clearance deals other than actually going to the store, it doesn't mean there is no other way, i just don't know of it. Sorry.
