Well..here's what happen today.

I went to my local B&M to check out the hp895cse printer. Printed a couple of test pages and it looks pretty good. It didn't say on the box whats the dpi on the printer, so I ask one of the salesman and they told me that its 1200x1200 dpi. They have about 4 of them then I bought one. I went home do some more research and found out that the printer is only 600x600 dpi. I took it right back to staples and exchange for something else. I exchanged for the LExmark z52 which is on sale for $139.99 - $30 instant saving. The lexmark has 2400x1200dpi. what do you guys think. Did I make the right decision?

The HP is 1200x1200 dpi color, 600x600 black. Looks pretty good to me. I have the DeskJet 890C, the senior brother, and I love it. The Lexmark doesn't look that bad, but I'm not a huge fan of them.

Went out to my local Staples here in Chapel Hill and they let me use a $30 online coupon as long as I had proof that I had received a previous coupon offer in the mail (the mail offer had expired but I wrote down a new number on the paper and I guess that was good enough!) Final price was $105.98 with tax--more than just a 'warm' deal in my opinion. Thanks Hawkeye!!
