Looking for a laser printer to replace HP 3600

[speckytecky]

We have several HP Laserjet 3600 printers in the school that are now at least 5 years old. Several have failed - mainly with print drawer issues. I'm currently shopping for replacements. Our usual supplier suggested a HP Laserjet Pro 400 M451nw Colour Laser Printer which they currently offer a free 3 year warranty on. This comes in at about £190. The replacement cartridges are the best part of £300 for the set though. Any other recommendations please?

Have you considered the HP OfficeJet Pro X range? They are inkjets rather than lasers, but very different from any other inkjet you've ever seen (take a 9k black and 6.6k colours). A full set of inks is still getting close to £300, but your getting around 2.5x as many pages for your money. I know there are a lot of people on here with experience of them.

 

The single function device is the CN463A - OfficeJet Pro X451dw. It's definitely under budget and comes with cashback or a 90 days 'love it or your money back' guarantee.
