However, with the DeskJet 500 you can print a full page of graphics without
the memory constraints of a LaserJet. I've seen the ouput of the printer and
it is really great! Plus, for those of you familiar with the older DeskJets,
HP has developed a new ink that is not water soluble (eliminating all those
annoying smudges) and it's really BLACK.
