Output quality for color laser printers varies considerably. Some printers are no better than minimally acceptable on some kinds of output. Others offer uniformly good to excellent quality with all kinds of images. The samples here show how each printer performs with a range of images, using the same settings we used for the performance tests. Note that we reproduce color text on a color background at 170 percent of actual size to show detail.
