A very nice workgroup or better color laser printer (or phazer printer).
I bought a nice network ready Dell Color Laser 3100cn which does
alright with photos, but always works and prints forever before
needing to change toners. It's 3 years old now, and I still haven't
changed the toner (and yes we do print a fair amount).
To print good photos though I would go with a higher res color
laser. My Dell 3100cn does ok photos on glossy paper, but resolution
could be better (600dpi).
Cheers,
David
