Michael,
Have you tried printing with the P2000 on Stonehenge Printmaking paper? It is really gorgeous. I use this paper for my colored pencil work and I have to look real close to tell which is the original and which is the copy. It is a great printer.
Elizabeth,
In my former life, I owned a design firm. We owned several Epson ink jets and a QMS magicolor EX color laser printer. We never had a problem with Postscript fonts with the Epsons.
Believe me if there could have been a problem, we would have had it! The problem with the laser printer is that the toner "lays" on top of the paper and could flake off if rolled or during framing, especially with a glossy surface. When doing business cards that is not a big problem, but when making prints it is. Also, when using a textured watercolor paper, the laser printer won't put the toner into the crevices of the paper. You can see the paper color in the middle of what should be solid color.
In summary:
It is my opinion that when printing brochures and business cards, etc. laser is good. When making fine art prints, Epsons are best (I never used any other kind of ink jet printer in my 15 years of business).
