Minolta-QMS Page Pro 9100
This was one of the few printers that made it below our budget. It wasn't any slower than the more expensive printers and can print in true 1200 x 1200dpi.
The Minolta-QMS printer featured a 500-sheet universal cassette as well as a 200-page multi-purpose tray. You can increase the paper capacity with up to three additional 500-sheet cassettes. You can also add a four-bin mailbox, a hard disk, and a duplexing unit. The Page Pro comes standard with 64MB of memory and can be expanded to 512MB.
The Page Pro 9100 did quite well in our speed stakes. It was up there with the fastest of printers at printing standard Word documents, but when it came to printing photos, it was unusually slow considering it was equipped with the most RAM.
Its print quality on the other hand was exceptional. It was undoubtedly the best printer in this area.
The TCO was relatively low. There were four printers that were more expensive to own and only two printers less expensive to own.
