Stephen - my work also is in the legal system - providing image enhancement
and analysis services -- from fingerprint images to murders caught on
videotape. I also provide training and consulting to law enforcement
agencies in this field. That being said - I understand the critical need of
good quality reproduction in your field, and therefore recommend staying
away from laser printers completely. The best printers on the market today
for high quality reproduction are the seven ink based Epson printers. You
will not get sharper images or better color reproduction from any other
printing system. The color gamut in these printers even exceeds that of the
traditional photographic process.

If your work was less critical, and you needed something that produced high
volume, a color laser printer may be a good solution - but for high quality,
stick with the seven color Epson ink jets.

Best,

George Reis
