Phaser 6180n in use
Review of Xerox Phaser 6180N by
Padraig5
Advantages: Fast, economical,good for pictures, easy to connect to a network
Disadvantages: size, paper tray hard to open if kept on the floor
...or so. I choose the Xerox 6180N which cost me under £200. It is very economical. it prints all types of paper formats and is very fast. The network facility works well with my 6 computers on the network and seems to accept documents from one computer running SuSe Linux
The toners can be expensive , but firms like Toner Giant offer very good compatibles. The downside is the size, it has a large footprint and is very tall, and can only take 250 sheets ... ...an expensive second tray.
It is not suitable as a home printer, but would be good for a home office or small business. Saying that , it does produce very good pictures when using mid range photo papers designed for colour laser printers. Anyone printing a lot of colour pictures it could pay for itself very quickly compared to using colour ink jets.
There are many features that i have yet to discover. Fortunately it comes with a good printed instruction ...

Review of Xerox Phaser 8400B by
blondgem
Advantages: quality prints
Disadvantages: bit slow now, lot less features than up to date models
...may perform in-house.
The Xerox Phaser 8400 is what I call my back up plan, used occasionally, when I may have ran out on consumables for my other printers of if I want to get a job done quick, I may use them all at the same time.
All our printers are leased and unfortunately the Phaser 8400 is no longer available to purchase or lease as new anymore, however some companies do offer ex-demonstration machines and you may be able to acquire one of ... ...as good as the latest Xerox models that are available. The rate for black and white is also the same 24 pages per minute.
The printer has one tray that you can load with a maximum size of A4. It is capable of taking a ream of paper, 500 sheets, however I have found if you do fill it to its capacity, it does tend to jam so I receommend to fill it half full to prevent this from occurring as it is a bit of pain having to get up every second to unblock ...

HP PhotoSmart Pro B9180
Review of HP PhotoSmart Pro B9180 by
my_user
Advantages: Printer quality will lost for many many years
Disadvantages: please check my Drawbacks list with this printer:
I had brought this printer particularly to print my beautiful photos. Based on my experience the photos quality is simply superb. I have stuck few A3 size (bigger scenery photos) photos on my room walls without any laminations, already few months ago and I'm cleaning dust with cloth once in a while but still the photo print quality is very good, not seen even small shading on the print. I never had seen this kind of print quality in my life time. ... ...Drawbacks with this printer: It takes hell a lot of time to initialize the printer (minimum 15 to 20 minutes) by this time your 5 to 10% of ink cartridge will become empty.
It consumes too much of ink and ink bags are sky high price.
After a few months the whole printer with full of aerosol ( full of ink) Printing time is very very….slow
Very bad paper skew happens once in a while (particularly when you print ...

A good photo printer
Review of HP PhotoSmart 7260 by
hnilesp
Advantages: Good quality, elegant, fast
Disadvantages: expesive maintenance
This is a very good products with both pros and cons. The design structure of the printer is very aesthetic and eyecatching. The presence of a five in one card reader is of great assistance. Not only in the process of printing straight out of the memory chip but also in connecting such memory chips to the computer. As the name suggests this printer is primarily designed for the use as a photo printer and it does its job absolutely well. The print ... ...as well. A lot of ink is wasted during the printing process and the cost of the cartridges are very and refilling is equally expensive. The capacity of the basic cartridges that come with the printer is very limited. Another issue common to most inkjet printers is that the ink solidifies when the printer is not used commonly. But I'd clearly recommend this product to anyone who wishes for a worthy colour printer. ...

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 ...
