    Hi, greetings from Scotland. I found your page through Citra Solv. I wonder if you can help. I am looking for someone who has a fairly recent mono laser printer that works with citrasolv. I am hoping to buy one and can't get any firms here to send me sample printouts, so need to know what models work with citra solv. Thanks
