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 ... Read review

Advantages: Attractive, quiet, very fast
Disadvantages: Expensive, unreliable, ridiculous pricing structure for consumables that fail

The Tally 8008 looks stunning. It stands proud in the corner of our ICT Suite offering visitors a tangible sensation of cutting edge reprographics. The best way to admire the machine however is on 'standby' for when you begin to demand of it the Tally 8008 provides a fantastic advert for other printing companies. Fortunately, the Tally came with a five year on site warranty, hence my lead for this review; "Cheaper than online dating …". Our administrator ...
...has of her own husband. Tally field services is stored on the phone's of most of those with the authority to initiate a field call. So, what makes this machine so unreliable? I wish I knew. As a school potentially we do give the machine heavy use but then it is sold as a workgroup printer and consequently we should be permitted to expect the printer to function effectively on a small network. Unfortunately, the Tally 8008 has an array of consumable ... Read review

Advantages: Quick startup and printing, great quality, smaller than last one.
Disadvantages: Not sure on cost of toner etc but always seem to be really expensive

...on its specs on the HP site as I don't always trust the staff at PC World, they seem way to cheerful for selling PC's daily. Then ordered online and it arrived a coupld of days ago, I am pretty savvy with installing printers and making them work as I have done it for a couple of businesses and friends but this one seemed even easier than normal It is also much smaller than I expected, the previous laserjet has its own gravitational pull it was so ...
...on a filing cabinet and there is no bending of wood in sight. I can't comment on the running cost as it has literally been here for 3 days and I haven't looked at cost of toner and photo units yet but probably similar to what we paid for Epson. The best thing is that it prints colour and black and white really quick! We always have on the spur of the moment things at work to design and print for new deals etc and this means I don't have to start ... Read review

Advantages: Great value for money, good print quality, fast output
Disadvantages: Big and heavy; starter cartridges don't last long

A very good value-for money entry-level colour laser. I found this very easy to set up (with WinXP, via USB) and with good print quality for most purposes, such as newsletters and other desktop-publishing. Probably not quite the standard you'd want if you're a keen digital photographer and want large photo output, but then I haven't tried changing the default settings or using high-quality glossy paper. Don't expect it to sit on a small shelf next ... Read review

Advantages: Easy install, great interface options, very fast black output
Disadvantages: colour output very, very slow at A4 size

Ok, so laser printers are more expensive than inkjets. BUT; when you look at the saving that can be made on consumables it starts to be a bit of a no brainer as to which you buy! this printer cost me a little over £200 delivered, which was a great deal, they are usually around the £250+ area but still a good deal at that. It's got a pretty strange layout, that whilst totally functional is not that pretty, it's got a sort of front-side face, which ...
...on, and a back panel which is just plain, but the other two 'ends' leave you wondering which way round your supposed to put the printer, the paper sits in an open feeder, and bit like a manual feeder only for lots of sheets, on one side, which also has the power and interface connection on, so if you want to be able to replace paper you have to see a big sheet of steel with the connection sticking out? minolta dropped the ball a bit there. I have ... Read review
