Color Laser printers and PS3 emulation vs real PS3
I am looking to replace my "Free" color printers Xerox Phaser 860 with a new color laser printer. The Phaser did us wel, was true PS3 but didn't do 11x17, wee need Tabloid printing.
So I'm on the hunt. We looked at a few Color Copier solutions but our current office equipment, while old is not dead so idealy my department would be the only upgrade.
I found a couple of printers that meet my criteria but they both have PS emulation only.
Anybody here use this technology?
Does it work fine, do things print off the printer looking like they do when they come out of the imagesetter?
We will not be using this device for color proofing, just for a visual for the pressmen, as well as for positioning on press (we do envelopes on Jet presses).
the two printers I'm considering are within 2k-3k and are as follows:
#1 HP Color Laserjet 5550n
• I understand HP has been running emulation for the longest time.
#2 OKIDATA C9300
• Will do 11x17 full bleed
Any input would be appreciated.
