...poor old geriatric canon inkjet. HP quote about 8ppm and that seems about right. Not the fastest of lasers I know but were not doing runs of 20,000 books so it suits us fine. Set up and install ------------------------ Came in a really big box. Looks like itd take 2 printers but disappointingly there was only one.Usual plug-and-play set-up on a workstation via a usb (supplied). we got the technician to install it to the network at a later date ...
...Supplies ------------ About £40 per HP cartridde which was getting WAY too expensive for the kids to use. I think the compatibles were coming in at around £30. * 1 x toner cartridge ( cyan ) - up to 2000 pages * 1 x toner cartridge ( magenta ) - up to 2000 pages * 1 x toner cartridge ( yellow ) - up to 2000 pages * 1 x toner cartridge ( black ) - up to 2500 pages Looks --------- Chunky but not especially bulky if that makes any sense.

...a replacement for an old HP black laser when I saw this on offer with £100 cashback from HP. Having had it running for about 3 weeks now I can report on what it's like to use. Setup was quite straightforward, I opted for the network setup so it just plugged into router. Software installs quite quickly anf the HP Toolbox keeps an eye on ink levels via pc screen, although you do have to open it first. It is slow, very slow when compared to other ...
...used to 25 ppm from the machine it replaces. However, first page comes out quickly and if you are patient ot's worth the wait. Colour reproduction is pretty impressive, black is crisp and easy to read. It is a b-i-g printer so make sure you measure your desk space before ordering. Supplies are not particularly cheap at around £40 for each cartridge covering around 2500 sheets from each. Was it the right decision to buy? I think it was, particularly ... Read review

Advantages: Looks good and reasonable quality
Disadvantages: Running costs

The HP Colour LaserJet 2605 is a good little printer; the colour printing is good quality and fast. It is the ideal home or small office printer, the paper tray on the LJ2605 is small so required topping up constantly with paper. The LJ2605 is easy to use and the instructions on the led screen are simple and easy to follow, the screen is a little on the small side though. You should be able to pick this printer up for less than £300. 00 Toner ...
...are retailing for around £50.00 each……. and this is the main drawback with this machine, the toner packs are quite small so you don't get much for your money and to replace all four colours is going to cost almost £200.00. Being an Hewlett Packard makes it easy to maintain, parts for this printer are reasonable priced and readily available, having said that I have had no real problems with this printer although the little paper holder on the output ...

This printer is great for small offices, Estate Agents seem to like them and I can see why, they are reliable and ideal for printing house info with colour pictures of "nice fixer uppers". There are a couple of drawbacks however, Xerox toner ...
...of warrantee can be frustrating, Xerox will repair but there prices go through the roof and getting parts is an expensive and torturous ordeal if you want to fit them yourself, I have to order bits from France and it can take up to 14 days. Having said that The Xerox Phaser 6125vn is less likely than most to break down and should give years of faithful service especially if you use good quality paper and toner. ... Read review
