[Leica] Black and White Printing

[mcyclwritr at comcast.net (mcyclwritr@comcast.net)]

Another possibility for b&w and color printing up to 13" x 19" is the 
nine-ink HP 8750. I am not recommending it over any Epson printer. Just 
mentioning it because I saw it advertised for the first time in this 
weekend's Office Depot flyer (Denver) at $499.00. Which is either full list 
price or street price, depending on whether you buy into the street-price, 
phantom discount pricing scam. 

Pricing strategy suspicions aside, it should do b&w as well as the HP 8450. 
And given my 8450's prodigious ink consumption per print, you probably ought 
to buy some HP stock just to feel better about your ink bill.
