Quality, speed and a big price
Review of Tally Colour Laser T8006 by
robmarks
Advantages: Good quality pictures, reasonably fast
Disadvantages: Heavy, bulky and very expensive
This product was my first purchase of a colour laser printer, which was bought for my office at work. The price was £899. Not the cheapest but I was assured by the supplier that the quality was very good.
Indeed the quality is good. I'm very impressed by the high standard of prints, both colour and mono. It performs particularly well on photographs, which are reproduced in excellent quality with an almost glossy finish.
The printer comes with 64Mb ... ...seem. The printer is certainly fast, whipping out colour prints fairly quickly.
Sadly, despite its speed and quality, this printer has some fairly big disadvantages. Firstly there is no auto duplex, which costs extra. The printer also seems to struggle with all but plain copier paper, which is a pity when you want colour pics on glossy paper.
Be prepared for a heavy product. This weighs a ton. It took two people to lift the box and move it into ...

Great quality - great price
Review of Tally Colour Laser T8006e by
Plymyphil
Advantages: Purchase price, total cost of ownership, quality
Disadvantages: Paper jams
...reading this review of the Tally 8006e colour laser printer.
This is the first colour laser printer I have had to use regularly and without spoiling my overview that I will put at the end of the review, I am seriously impressed. The quality is superb and the value for money I believe to be good also.
We purchased our Tally 8006e to replace a Hewlett Packard networked inkjet printer (2500) that was proving unreliable on the network and expensive ... ...repair and maintenance costs. Our Tally was purchased primarily because the independent reports of the budget colour laser market suggested this printer had quite considerably lower total cost of ownership than other similar printers. The costs per page are listed as:
1.1p per page for a black and white office memo.
4.7p per page for a colour office memo.
7.3p per page for colour marketing materials.
14.8p per page for colour presentation.
24.5p ...

Lexmark is very reliable
Review of Lexmark X3580 by
lulabell87
Advantages: wifi, screen
Disadvantages: 2 separate ink cartridges
...ago, i have always had lexmark printers, and i really liked the design of this one. It is an all in one, so a printer, scanner and copier, and the price ranges from around £30-50 which i think is reasonably good value for money. It takes two print cartridges, one black on colour, the numbers are 3 and 4 cartridges respectively, which are also fairly cheap. at between £13-18 depending on where you purchase them, I find the fact that it has separate ... ...just have one cartridge for both, as i personally use a lot more black than colour, so i only have to replace whichever one is needed as opposed to the whole cartridge, when there may still be colour ink left in it. It has an extendable tray which you can pull out while it is printing to catch the paper, and the buttons are easy to use. It was also very easy to install, with no major problems arising. It also has a good warning system of when the ...

Canon Pixma mp 460 - Fantastic all in one
Review of Canon Pixma MP460 by
panther23
Advantages: lcd display, durability, optional Bluetooth connection, qualitys, speed, design, functionality, rich software, reliability
Disadvantages: could be litle smaller

Canon has a number of standard, automatic cleaning procedures:
- standard cleaning eliminating unwanted smudges and lines in the print result
- Deep cleaning unclogging nozzles that can not be cleaned by regular cleaning
- Bottom plate cleaning which prevents paper smudges during printing
- Roller cleaning gives smoother paper feeding
Ink (Canon FINE (Full-lithography inkjet Nozzle Engineering) - 4-ink)

It is about 3-5 times a week. The cost of new ink varies from capacity. There are different options available on a market. That is good as you can suit size to your budget or if printing a lot buy bigger ink. Black costs about £11 and colour £16. For me it is not expensive. Quality costs.

Canon Pixma iP4300 Printer
Review of Canon PIXMA iP 4300 by
kindlyraccoon
Advantages: Two paper trays. Ability to print onto CD discs. Quiet
Disadvantages: Cost of original cartridges.
When I first bought the canon printer and got it out of the box, I felt that I had a printer that was sturdy and solid. The reason why a lot of people complain when they are in the shop is that there is never a cable with the printer. Again this is no exception. So either you buy a new one or hopefully, like me you had one from your last printer. The black and silver trim make it look quite smart, making you want to leave it out in the open. Really ... ...At first the cartridges from Canon were ok but I find at £8 each it does get expensive. I started to use compatible ones. Now then, if you go this route, people say that they break the printer. I have found this not to be true in my situation. The problem is when you have to change the chip over from one cartridge to another. A little tool is provided to remove the chip and some double sided tape for sticking it back on the new one. I have had a ...
