Since I am being quoted, I thought that I should offer a caveat.  While 
the Brother HL-2700CN is a dynamite printer, and this is an unbelievable 
price for it, it will never do photorealistic prints as well as a good 
inkjet.  No color laser will.

Inkjets have higher resolution, brighter inks, and they can print to 
glossy paper, all of which can give you output that is almost 
indistinguishable from an actual photograph.  

You will always be able to tell that the output from a color laser isn't 
an actual photograph.

So, I recommend that you check out a test print from a Brother HL-2700CN 
from a local Staples, Office Max, etc. and see if the output suits your 
needs before you purchase one.

Please let us know what you think.
