----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Hi Barbara, We have just purchased a Hewlett Packard HP DeskJet 550C to accompany our CD-ROM (486). Colour is essential for cartographic purposes, albeit considerably slower than the black and white laser printer we used previously. Our readers prefer to wait in order to acquire colour prints, which make output from the likes of DCW so much more attractive and usable - try a b/w map with contours, roads and rivers!
