Nope, the codonics NP1600 (my present favorite color printer) does not
     contain a "laserjet" print engine.  It does print very nice b/w and is
     used extensively in the EM and radiology market for such.  The NP1600
     does contain a SUN UNIX computer so if you are clever enough you could
     probably redirect files to networked less expensive printers.  This is
     way beyond my UNIX skills.

Can the Codonics NP 1600 dye sublimation printer be used as standard b/w
laser printer as well (using standard paper of course)?  If so, is it
still more expensive to run (using a color engine for a b/w job)?
In other words, can the printer recognize the type of job and if it is a
standard text file to act as a laser printer?
 
Thanks,
