Nicest inkjet I ever used was a HP Paintjet (something-jet) 1200CPS.

1200dpi, color, *postscript* - and the 3 ink carts cost about $30 each.

but god, once I got it working with Ghostscript/print filters, it was
*beautiful*.

Sadly, I've forgotten EVERYTHING i knew about setting up printers with
Ghostscript, etc, since 1998, and have to re-learn it.
