Interesting, it looks like I received bad information from the one 
Repair tech that works on the plotters I support, plus I mistakenly 
read the "HP Printing and Digital Imaging Products Selection Guide", 
which was where I got the yield info from.  I mixed up the 2800 
series with the 2600 series (too small of fonts).

It looks like I need to rerun the numbers, and take another look at 
the 2605dn.  At home I still use my venerable HP 5mp on an external 
JetDirect.  I've had a colour InkJet in the past, but didn't like how 
much it cost to use.  I would like to be able to print colour and 
have a duplexer.
