We have been using Fantasia for several years and have been happy with it.  Don't know anything
about Formation.
 
Concerning the LJ3/4sis vs. the C40D printer, I would be interested in seeing some numbers comparing
costs per page, etc.  We have been using 3/4si printers for a while and considered the new, faster printers
from HP but the consumable costs seemed higher on the 30/40D printers.  Someone else actually did the
comparison.  Our cost per page on the 3/4si printers has been low because we get a many pages per
toner cartridge (15,000 or more).  Any information about the cost on the 30/40Ds would be useful.
