longetivity of the prints? I have no idea. Nope The final print is much difrent from any xerox ive used. Its glossy no matter what you print on. It dose use toner cartrages like an xerox. I like the color quality verry much, everything is soo bright! I found my problem with my green shade not printing, its too light for my printer. I just have to adjust my color saturation in photoshop but ill ask if there is an easyer way when I call them. I want to see if customer service can help with my photo fuzzyness. The sample we looked at in the store was printing pics of people crisp as if I were looking right at ya, so it has to be able to be worked out.
