Right now, they are getting tens of thousands of pages out of this thing per month (it runs 24 hours/day for weeks on end). The ratio of actual print to page area is very low with less than 20% of a page actually having any print on it. A couple of firms in the area have told me that they can replace the Diablo but that their machines would need servicing every 3000 pages. Can I get some pointers to machines that are a little more sturdy than this? The only thing that might be a little different in this is that the printer would be driven by a microcomputer. Will this be a problem? Thanks in advance. Mark Becker -------
