The NX1000C is a decent printer for its price.  I bought one two years ago for 149.95  I have not had any major problem with it except for a blown out LED indicator light.  I would not recommend the NX1000C Rainbow.  Although I never had color printer, I feel that a 9-pin color printer is not the best quality.  If you really WANT a color printer, go for a laser or a 24-pin, they are much faster and have better resolution.  

One thing you might want to keep in mind:  Check your local dealers and make sure they do service the NX1000C because it's a pain in the butt trying to ship a defected printer in for service.
