PCL 4 vs. PCL 6?

by drobledo . Updated 25 years, 8 months ago

I’ve been given the OK to purchase a personal laser printer for my desk. I’m looking at the Lexmark Optra E312L/E312 and the NEC SuperScript 1400/1450. The main difference for both companies between their budget models and the more expensive one is that the budget models feature PCL 4 w/ almost no printer fonts whereas the advanced models feature PCL 6 w/ about 75 fonts.

If this feature only affects speed, then I don’t mind getting the budget model. But if the fonts affect output quality and/or accuracy (WYSIWYG) then I will probably purchase the 1450. Does anyone out there know the difference?
