The solid ink printers make great prints, but in the past they have been
better suited to moderate to high volume environments.  The old units
that I have experience with would take a while to warm up, and waste some
ink in the process.  Thus it was better to leave them on continuously,
such as one might do in an office.  Today's printers have no doubt
improved.  If you are seriously considering solid ink, I could find 
out from how today's models perform.
