The HP cartridge requires 2M of add-on memory. This leaves plenty
of memory for even my most complicated jobs. I personally
wouldn't touch a non-Adobe PS cartridge. They may be cheaper but
conversations with people who've gone with clones (including PP)
have indicated that most of them wish they'd have bought real
Adobe.
