If you're on a first-name basis with your local Kinko's
employees, maybe it's time to consider a color copier of your
own. For a street price of $499, Hewlett-Packard provides the
digital HP Color Copier 170. It creates photo-quality color images
as well as crisp black and whites. The digital technology makes a
lot of higher-end features possible, such as reduction and
enlargement from 25 percent to 400 percent, reverse-image for
iron-ons, auto-fit and cloning.
At about 19 inches wide and 17 inches deep, it's probably
not much bigger than your printer. If you want to tackle creating
your own brochures, sales literature or promotional T-shirts, the
HP Color Copier could be a convenient solution. But don't
forget to factor in the ongoing costs of ownership: premium papers
and ink cartridges. More information is available at www.hp.com.
