i am on my third laser and this one is color, the last were a compliment to the inkjet. one inkjet frustrated me more than most costing more then most but enabled me to print posters up to 18" wide but after 2 years hp retired the model and there simply was no ink to be had at any price. that prompted me to go with the color laser at only $200 and literally i can print cases of paper no longer do i measure ink life by the ream but by the case. my issue is when i print all the lights in the house go dim, the thing sucks up go juice more then any appliance i have ever seen. i never thought to put that figure into the cost per sheet but i stopped printing after rearranging my office my energy bills dropped. perhaps coincidence. thoughts from some experts.....
What: Perfect single-crystal diamonds of more than two carats (the average engagement ring is less than a carat) churned out in a day. Scientists create the gemstones using a process called chemical vapor deposition (CVD), which grows diamond crystals one carbon atom at a time.
Is there not two common ways to produce man made diamonds? High pressure and a low pressure creation of man made diamonds, where the CVD is considered the low pressure. Is there a cap on how large the high pressure diamonds can be produced and obviously they are not very suitable for electronics but for jewelry are there any differences? just wondered
