Any difference or preference in using a color laser printer versus a 
black and white laser printer for toner transfer?

I have a vague recollection of reading somewhere that a black and white 
laser printer is best.

Advice?

Thanks.

Assuming that both color and black toner print equally
and are both rugged, I would go with the black, simply
because the colored toner is so much more expensive...
at least that's my understanding of it.  But YMMV  :D)

Pulsar has some info about color laser printers. Here's the link, info at bottom of page.

I recently bought a colour laser.  I found that it can't handle any 
thick material at all because of the way the paper path & several passes 
works.
That info was buried in the manual & not on the brochures.
It does do nice colour on plain paer though.

I must add that although I have had several lasers, I needed tech 
assistance to set this one up.
The problem was that control panel settings on the printer will over 
ride the settings from the computer regardless of what you put in the 
driver settings.

My printer is a Lanier (Ricoh) SP C240DN / Aficio SP C240DN  - Same 
printer different names.

It ws a cheapy on special to see what a colour laser could do because 
none of our printer suppliers shows print samples any more.

Regards,
Brian
