Has anyone got any recommendations for a colour laserjet printer for a small office. Under pound;180 would be good.? -

I m printing far too much in my small office for an inkjet printer. Looking for the best laserjet printer in a reasonable price range. Must do colour as well, with a quick print turnaround. I ve been looking around on the web, but it seems a bit of a mine field! Under ￡180 would be very helpful.

You say you are doing far too much printing as to be economical on an inket but have you really done your homework in comparing consumables of inkjets and lasers. There is no doubt that laser printers have come way down in price and you can certainly get an Epson colour laser for under ￡180. However, when you compare the costs of replacement colour toners to inkjet cartridges and then also the inevitable drum replacement which you do not have with an inkjet, you may find that it is false economy. I personally would always recommend Epson as a make whatever the type, and being an office have you also considered that if you print envelopes and labels, an inkjet really is much more flexible.

I have a KonicaMinolta color laser printer. It should cost about the amount that you stated, not very good with currency exchange. I have one that has a network card and although I only use it for home office it seems to print very good looking graphics and letters. I have not had a problem with it and I have printed about 8000 pages. I have had to replace the black toner one time. I am 46% left on the current black toner and over 50% left on the color toners. The drum has about 28% of life left. When I get to the need to replace the color toners I may just purchase a new model of the same. Like ink jets it is often cheaper to buy a new one than to refill.

Samsung CLP 300 printer is worth to buy. Also, the toner cartridges for this printer is very cheap and reliable. http://blog.123inkcartridges.ca/2008/08/…
