Advantages: Fast effficient print quality
Disadvantages: Too many additional items, expensive toners

...PURCHASE After years of running Lexmark T522s and T610s, we recently replaced our entire fleet with the T64X models. The X stands for either 0 in our T640 range or 2 in our T642n Range. Differences between the 2 are very insignificant to some but not to others. Its basically that the T642 has a 500 Sheet Paper drawer built in as opposed to the 250 Sheet drawer on the T640. Doen not sound much but it means you only have to restock the drawer half ...
...when buying laser toners for Lexmark Printers. Compared to similar toners from Epson, Cannon and HP, the Lexmark toners yield less and cost more per page. OK, initial outlay is cheaper but you will soon end up regretting the consumables if you print loads. Add to this the additional costs if I want my printer to Duplex. For those of you that dont know, Duplexing is printing on both sides. Most modern Laser printers are able to cope with this internally. ... 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: Prints Fast, Good Quality
Disadvantages: Cannot print on 110lb cardstock

I have had my HP Laserjet 1600 for a couple of months now and at first I wasn't to pleased with the colour quality, but after it got broken in it started getting better. I use it quite a bit, sometimes printing 500 sheets a day, so it seems to stand up to the work load that I put it through. One drawback to the HP Laserjet 1600 is if you're printing card stock it cannot print on 110 lb paper. I should have checked into this before purchasing it but ... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, fast, refillable toner, small.
Disadvantages: Envelopes can get jammed.

...such a regular basis. The samsung was in my budget and had all the benefits of a laser printer in a small box. The printer was easy to setup and came with drivers for windows Vista and Xp. I am a Mac user and it was plug and play for me (with Leopard). The toner had to be inserted which is done within seconds. Being my first laser printer I was impressed with the printing speeds, long gone have the days of waiting 30mins for a journal to print. ...
...The printer is relatively small (as far as laser printers go) and will fit on almost any desk (Dimensions (WxDxH) 35.8 cm x 29.9 cm x 21.7 cm). The printer has a relatively small paper capacity at 150 sheets, although this is ample enough for home use or smaller offices. As its only a Mono laser printer photos are not expected to be printed although simple graphs and small pictures in documents print out nice enough. The printer is shipped with ... 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 ...
