Which printer for advertising brochures?

[=?ISO-8859-1?Q?BenOne=A9?=]

Hi all,

Please recommend a printer and supplies for the following print job.

I want to print my own advertising brochures. They will be A5 in size - A4
printed on both sides then folded in half - and each brochure will have at least
2 sheets of paper. There will be photos of my products, so I need fairly high
resolution.

I assume I should buy something like the Canon i865 or better that supports a
continuous inking system. I may even consider the i9100 so I can print some nice
photos for my walls too. My understanding is that the latest Canon printers (965
and 9950) don't support continuous inking systems.

How much should I expect to pay for this printer, the continuous inking system,
and the ink itself?

What paper would you recommend?

Many thanks for any replies.

I'm actually in Australia, so US prices will be much more than here, but I would
still appreciate the quotes.

Given how much ink soaks into the paper and is visible from the other
side, and given that you don't want it to run when wet, do you want an
ink jet at all ?

I'd have thought that a colour laser with duplexer would be faster,
require less manual intervention, produce more stable output, and might
cost less to run in the long haul ?

What resolution are colour laser printers capable of?

At least 600 dpi, maybe more ?
