Using a laser printer instead of a normal standard injet printer is great, there a lot faster than normal inkjet printers, there a lot more reliable and can carry on printing for ages without you worrying whether the things going to blow up or over heat or not.

Review of Dell Laser Printer 1720dn

Good colour laser for those on a budget

Advantages: Reasonable cost cartridges available. Good quality
Disadvantages: Large. No network adapter.

...I have owned this printer for a few months now and I am very happy with it. I wouldn't normally recommend HP since other brands are often cheaper. Often, they are identical models too, Canon have made a lot of printers for HP in the past. This time was different, the HP was the cheapest colour laser I could find where the cartridge prices were also reasonable. Being a laser printer, these do take drums as well as toner cartridges. All laser printers do, but the cartridges for this one come together with the drum. This means to the end user, you only need to change 4 toner cartridges, one for each colour of black, cyan, magenta and yellow. They are the standard four colours but you need to be careful when ordering replacements. Normally, manufacturers list the cartridges in the following order: black, cyan, magenta, yellow. The part...

Dell Colour Laser 3110cn Review

Advantages: Qulaity, Speed, Network Adapter
Disadvantages: Size of paper tray

...This is a superb colour laser printer for the money. I use this for business on a daily basis. Although mainly used for B&W printing its very fast. When used in Colour the image quality is fantastic. This printer comes with various means of communication ie parallel, USB and a built in network adapter. I have it linked directly to the router and therefore it can be used as a network printer easily. The menus are very versitile and offer you a great array of features to help control your business costs. Ie turning off the colour function to certain users. My only disappointment is that it doesnt come with a larger tray. An additional tray can be purchased as an optional extra at additional cost. The printer is very frugal with the ink, it seems to keep printing and printing without the levels going down rapidly. The cartridges...

HP Color LaserJet CP4005dn Printer

Advantages: Fast Printing (if not Adobe), Toner Level Display, Good Quality Print
Disadvantages: It's Too Big, Doesn't Duplex Properly, It's Too Big, Noisy, oh yes - It's Too Big!

...In March, my office finally bit the bullet and bought its first networkable printer (to be used by 3 people). Up to that point, we had 3 different printers - 1 on each desk - which all went through a full colour cartridge every fortnight and a black cartridge cost every week. Given the extortionate cost of printer cartridges (even recycled ones), my boss decided that now was the right time to buy a new 'central' networked printer, and wanted people to come up with ideas as to what we wanted. We eventually decided that we wanted a printer that could be networked wirelessly, had a high print cartridge capacity, could work with Vista had a fast printing turnaround, had a household name so that cartridges wouldn't be a problem and one that had a duplexing facility as we print a lot of double-sided pages as part of our order forms...

Colourful Printer

Advantages: Quality results in colour, support (when you get hold of them)
Disadvantages: Loud when in use, a bit bulky

...required to register with HP and make a support case and wait who knows how long for a response ? is this progress? * General Comments * Overall, this is a great printer that produces amazing results in the highest resolution settings. It cost me £600 two years ago, though you can get one for around half that now, and the fact that it is network ready (comes with a print server) is a definite plus. If you need a colour laser printer and want one that anyone can install and operate with no hassles or reading through complicated manuals, this is a great deal. It is very reliable. The only complaint I have with this printer is the noise. When starting up, self-cleaning, and printing, is quite noisy, though most laser printers usually are. It is also quite bulky, though I am comparing this to newer models. It does need a lot...

laser vs inkjet, i think laser wins.

Advantages: better quality print, faster.
Disadvantages: not great at printing photos

...Using a laser printer instead of a normal standard injet printer is great, there a lot faster than normal inkjet printers, there a lot more reliable and can carry on printing for ages without you worrying whether the things going to blow up or over heat or not.

This is why companies use them, so that their printed documents look a lot more professional, however all this does come at a price. These are known as office printer for a reason, they tend to be too big and clumpy for a home printer, and also there a lot dearer and it was very hard to buy one cheaper than about £300 till...

Top Notch Laser Printer for the Office

Advantages: Fast, Robust, HP Customer Support, High page yield, Serviceable
Disadvantages: Expensive official toners, Could be a bit more user friendly

...The HP LaserJet P3005N is an A4 black and white laser printer meant for office use. The company I work for had decided to standardise all printers to cut costs on toners and so they didn?t need to buy so many different toners. The main printer in use was the HP LaserJet 2420N but this was discontinued and superseded by the HP LaserJet P3005 printers so I decided on this one. The P3005 printers come in several flavours. There?s the P3005 (no network), P3005N (with network) and P3005DN (duplex, with parallel connection and network). All of them have a USB connection. The P3005N costs £436.98 at Dabs.com, with the DN version costing slightly more and I replaced four printers with P3005N?s across several sites. The printer has two paper trays. The main tray can hold 600 sheets of paper, which is one ream of 500 sheets of paper...

Review of HP LaserJet P3005n

Great Little Laser Printer for the Home

Advantages: Compact, Quick, Reliable, Good quality, Cheap Compatible toner
Disadvantages: Official HP toners expensive, No cancel button

...The HP LaserJet 1020 is a simple and compact black and white laser printer from HP. It superseded the LaserJet 1010, 1012, 1018 model s but as it has been out for quite a while, has itself been superseded by the LaserJet 1022 and maybe the LaserJet P1006 models, although mine is still going strong. The printer chassis has two shades of light greys and the body is quite curvy. It is small enough to fit in a book shelf, which is where I have mine. The trays stick out when extended but I fold up the paper feed tray when not in use. It only measures 370 x 242 x 209 mm so is probably one of the most compact laser printers you can get. I originally bought mine from Amazon for £45, which was an excellent deal but this printer usually sells for £60 - £100. INSTALLATION The printer came with a CD containing the driver. This is easy to install...

Dell 725 color printer

Advantages: fast
Disadvantages: does not print in true black ink color

...This printer has NEVER printed in true (or even close...) black "color". Contacting Dell support, I was told "your printer is no longer under warranty", so they would not even offer assistance. I never used it much (it was bundled with the laptop), so now when I needed it for a project, it is very disappointing that it does not work. I have downloaded and installed the "latest" driver (from 2006!) and that still did not help. I re-ran the printers test pattern and head cleaner, and no black ever printed. The test pattern is blue, pink, yellow and brownish-green. Given other's comments here about the black being a greenish-grey, I would never buy another single-cartridge printer again. I would definitely suggest you purchase a printer that has a dedicated black cartridge. Fast speed accounts for nothing if the colors are screwy!...

Samsung CLX2160 colour laser printer

Advantages: easy to use, low cost, cheap to run.
Disadvantages: none

...After purchasing a Samsung ML-1610 black laser printer for £50 a couple of years ago, we decided that as soon as the colour laser printers came down in price, we would get one of those. We also wanted a multi-function printer, to replace the multi-function inkjet printer that we had. If it could have a fax as well, then all well and good. After keeping an eye on prices for a while, I was searching one day and came across the Samsung CLX-2160 multi-function colour laser printer. WHAT DOES IT DO? Well, it is a copier, printer, scanner. It prints in black and colour. It prints up to 16 pages per minute in black and up to 4 ppm in colour. The copying peed is up to 16 ppm in black and up to 4 ppm in colour. Described as "The world's smallest color multifunctional printer". It is ideal for small office or home office use...
