For color I picked up a Tektronix Phaser 560 laser for $50 with very low page count (had slight cosmetic damage). New toner cartridges can be bought on Ebay anytime for $10 to $20 and give a page yield of about 6000. Not quite photo quality but close. By far the most economical way to go if you have the space.

Those old big Tektronix Phaser were one of the best color printers of its era. Great buy today. I really like and have owned currently or at one time the HP old B/W laser printers - HP laserjet 4 plus, 5, 4000, 4050, and 4100. They go at least 6500 pages on one toner in which you can get for sometimes less then $20 on eBay. They are also great with a Duplexer (for double sided printing), can be networked, and not to mention you can get the printers cheap also.
