Thanks, i will look at the Kyocera printers when i need to replace the
Lexmark.
bad thing with high resolution is it is only in newer printers, where
there is still high demand for toner.
I bought the Lexmark reading it has 1200DPI, in fact these are fake
"picture" DPI and it has only 600. Still better than the HP tho.
