200 DPI is fax quality. Basic text usually is 300x300DPI. Color pictures should be at least 1200x1200DPI for a decent picture. 600DPI just isn’t that good. If you want to do just a few pictures and a lot of text the 2 printer solution might be best for you. A color inkjet for pictures and a black/white laser for documents. Before you buy anything though look at the consumables for that printer. Often they cost more in the long run than the printer does.
