My job in CA we had a Xerox Phaser color printer. It did awesome work and the ink was wax based and it had to be heated. If it was off for a while it would take several minutes to warm up but if it was left on standby it would preheat the ink so it was ready but the time the office opened. We did all our slicks with it and it looked really good on the heavy glossy paper. It looked a lot like the old Mylar Selectric shiny text.

David, not that this relates to your printers but my old boss didn't believe that the higher end inkjet we had would do pictures as good as a film processing place and would get ruined if they got wet. I printed a picture and took it to work and dropped it in the sinke and told him have at it. The only damage was that it got scratched form the crappy paper towels we used to dry it with.

Ink on regular paper become impressionism when wet.
