I paid UNDER £60 for this little gem and it was well worth it.

Quick and easy to set up. Ok so I thought I could use it as a network printer and run it out of my router, but that's my mistake.

It is reliable, produces top notch quality prints - and this is the important bit... QUICKLY and with minimum fuss.

As a teacher I use this to produce worksheets; lots of them! Each one is as good as the first, and the 250 sheets of paper are hidden out of the way - unlike some models - a nice bonus!

I've even used it to produce professional quality invites for my wedding, on thick, coarse hand-made paper... again without a simple complaint from the printer. The only problem I had was in keeping up with the speed of the printer as I manually fed the A6 sheets in.

Even the consumables are reasonably priced. If you need a crafty little laser, this is for you.
