The Phaser 540 color laser printer ($8995) can produce photographs, scanned images, and business graphics in continuous-tone, selectable, true 300- or 600-dpi quality. Geared for shared printing, the unit prints in full color at close to 4 ppm and in monochrome at 14 ppm. The Phaser 540 uses mono-component cartridges, which reduces the number of replaceable parts. A 250-sheet media tray is standard; options include a tray assembly for two additional 250-sheet trays and a special 100-sheet tray for transparencies.
