Black-and-white In A Color World

"However," Pearl continues, "color technology is not yet at the point where there is a hybrid system that can match the functionality and price of many black-and-white systems. This is especially true for production environments, such as in-plant printers who have the volume to support very fast black-and-white systems. Black-and-white printer/copiers still have a speed advantage over color copiers and are still able to offer a wider range of finishing capabilities."
