    I am posting this for a friend. I am posting this here as this
is the only printer related newsgroup that we currently get at this site.
Please email any comments to me as I don't read this news group regularly.
Thankyou

   I am a university student, and am a little  confused about the sort
   of printer I should be looking at.  Lasers are supposed to be excellent
   for resolution and speed, however I am interested in using it for 
   desktop publishing in colour.  I understand that ink jet printers
   handle colour well for a fraction of the price, but they are very 
   much slower than their laser counterparts.  Could someone please give me
   some details on the pros and cons of using either printer for desktop 
   publishing in colour.  I've currently got an Amiga 2000, and using 
   City Desk.  I'm thinking of getting into the IBM PC ballgame, and using
   some software known as Ventura.  Do you know if this software is 
   compatible with either printer? 

   Thank you
   Jeremy Walters.
