Advantages: Fast, high quality printouts. Disadvantages: Bulky, no real extra features, just a printer.
Where I work, this printer has definatly been put through its paces, printing almost non-stop and roughed about by in a rush office workers, each of whom believes their report is more important than everybody elses, and it hasn't broken down yet or even shown any sign of complaint.
5/5
Ease of use
This printer wasn't too dificult to install (I didn't have to sink as low as reading the instructions). And once installed it doesn't require any consious thought at all. And I haven't had any annoying calls from office staff who cant tell their keyboard from their mouse (I'm the tech guy BTW) about this printer.
5/5
Design
It fits in well with an office environment but is far to bulky to be a home PC, with a height of 47.7cm, a depth of 57.7 cm and a width of 40.8 cm as well as weighing in at 28 kg.

Advantages: Superb Colour Quality Disadvantages: Bit big, bit noisy and a bit fiddly
I've lived with ink-jet printers for years. Canon gave me the first bubble-jet and Epson have supplied the later models - various models of Stylus including C80, C84 and C86.
They get heavy use for work and all have given some headaches with clogged heads.
So a mixture of desperation and hope, together with keen pricing, has led me down the colour laser printer road.
The Epson Aculaser may not be a cute laser, but it does work a treat.
Specification
++++++++++
I'll not go into all the technical stuff, it is readily available from Epson's site or any of the dealers.
But what you need to know is that this printer uses a laser and is a 4 pass machine, doing each colour separately.
That makes it a tad slower than single pass machines... but much cheaper.
It uses four toner cartridges - black, magenta, cyan and yellow ...
