One nice thing about the Scribe is that the color looks GREAT,
even better than the older ink jets.  This is because the Scribe
"ink" isn't "ink", it's hot wax, so it leaves a shiny coating on
the paper.  The problem is the last time I bought a color ribbon 
(6 years ago) they were $12, so you can imagine what they cost now....
And worse, the ribbon has a beginning and an end, so if you print
 alot of blue, you just wasted away the yellow and red....
