    I'm a complete newbie to printing in general. I thought I could use a simple desktop color laser printer for my needs, but I might need something more. Especially for the marketing materials which require full bleed printing. It seems that no desktop printers I saw could do full bleed, I'd have to get a bigger printer and then cut the paper. That was very surprising as I had a full bleed inkjet printer in college 15 years ago!

    I'll be printing worksheets at very roughly 50 pages an hour (that's not a lot is it?) 5 days a week. Additionally I'll be printing brochures and postcards and other marketing materials occassionally. So here's what I'd really like:
    1. under $2k
    2. affordable ink/toner
    3. affordable maintenance (time and money-wise)
    4. full bleed (don't want to have to cut much)
    5. full duplex
    6. card stock printing

    I don't really care what technology the printer uses, inkjet, LED, laser. It needs to be color, but color accuracy is not critical. And because it's important I'm never without any printer, I'll be getting 2 of these.
