  The PaintJet can use any kind of paper.  The difference is output
quality.  From the advertisements, the DeskJet is just a higher res
black only PaintJet (same thermal inkjet drop on demand blah blah
blah).  Oh, yes, and it retails for less than $1000 (probably $999).
  The DeskJet also *looks* kind of like a laser printer (the
competition).  I've seen the print quality first-hand; it's pretty good,
but not quite as good as a laser (you have to squint do see the
difference).
