I had always owned expensive to run colour inkjet printers, but noticed that the majority of my printing needs were just black and white. The time had come to buy a laser printer.

I had used Kyocera Mita printers for a number of years at work and was aware of their cheap running costs, mainly because the ceramic drum has a life of around 150000 pages, thus making it effectively a fixed part of the printer. I fully expect to buy a new one when the drum itself fails. Due to this long life drum the toner cartridges are cheap (about £45 each with a life of around 4-5000 pages).

The quality of print from this printer is average and at a resolution of 600dpi. It is certainly good enough for nearly all basic usage. Printing pictures is not recommended though because the printer does show some banding across the page. Personally I run this printer for basic B&W printing and for a quick proof print of a picture, before printing that off on a dedicated photo inkjet.

The speed of printing is very good, with a sustained speed of around 10-12 pages per minute (dependant on what is being printed) and a first page speed of around 10-15 seconds.

It is possible to increase the included ram and also add a NIC interface card to ruin alongside the USB interface
