Hi, this is my first posting and I thank you in advance for your help. I am about to become a Mac person after 20 years with PCs. I want a new all-in-one to go with the Mac Book pro I am about to buy and have just spent the last 2 hours researching them on the web, but am more confused than ever, with no clear answer in sight. Can you recommend an all in one that would be right for me?
How I Use It
I work at home alone and my work is not very hard-copy-intensive. Days may go by without my using the AIO at all. In a normal week, maybe I'll send or receive 1-2 faxes, make 6 copies and print out 10 pages of text or web stuff, max. However, a few weeks a year, like when I am about to make a presentation, suddenly I make 100 printouts and do more faxing. So the machine needs to be able to handle long periods of low activity, with occasional spikes of higher activity.
What I Want
* Reliability. I absolutely hate paper jams!
* Reduce/enlarge on the copying feature--custom degrees of reduce/enlarge, not just pre-sets.
* Infrequent ink replacement. I hate changing cartridges often.
* Being able to print out 4x6 photos on photo paper (easily) would be a nice bonus if possible
* Obviously must be fully Mac compatible.
Economy is not a prime concern. I am willing to pay for the best most reliable machine, I just want to know it really is the best one.
Any thoughts?
