Advantages: Good quality pictures, reasonably fast Disadvantages: Heavy, bulky and very expensive

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.
...standard, which is perfect it would 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.

The printer comes with 64Mb of onboard memory as standard, which is perfect it would seem. The printer is certainly fast, whipping out colour prints fairly quickly.

Be prepared for a heavy product. This weighs a ton. It took two people to lift the box and move it into position. It's also heavy on the pocket. Although the price is good for the quality, the number of features and the cost of consumables are not good. Each toner cartridge (and there are 4) will set you back £105 then there's the cost of the drum and oil. And in terms of features - virtually none. It's just a bog standard colour laser printer.
I'm considering purchasing a new one for my office and it'll have to be much better than this!
Advantages: Purchase price, total cost of ownership, quality Disadvantages: Paper jams
Thanks in advance for reading this review of the Tally8006e colourlaser printer.
This is the first colourlaser 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 Tally8006e to replace a Hewlett Packard networked inkjet printer (2500) that was proving unreliable on the network and expensive in ink. A little research showed that the cost per page jumps down quite significantly when using a colourlaser printer. To help you fully appreciate this printer I will break down the individual elements that may be of use when purchasing.
COSTS
This printer cost us £649.99. This for a colourlaser printer puts it firmly at the budget end of the market. There are ...
