They use a wax based ink system that is almost I like the ALPS printers, and have used one at a print shop, but at 3 bucks a page (and considering I've only made 2 2600 labels in my life) I can't justify one myself. I guess they'd make nice CD labels too ;) The other problems with the ALPS are that their inks tend to flake eventually, and solid colors that aren't one of their primaries often look pretty bad (I once printed a light shade of purple that came out as a big magenta blob with cyan dots running through it.) Maybe that was a driver issue they later resolved. They do produce gorgeous photographic output though. Laminating that stuff would be about as pro-looking as you could get.
