StewartKnight Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 I have £500 to spend on a colour laser. TCO is important, as well as robustness (hence the need for a new printer).
everton4europe Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 have a look at some of the hp range. just ordered a 3600n for £450 and getting £200 cash back
Joanne Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 OKI colour lasers are nice and the consumable price is reasonable. Also they don't have those stupid rotating toners so printout is faster too! We use OKI C5900 but I think there are newer ones out at the moment.
bossman Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 Hp 4700n fast and reliable and I think they come with cash back also.
localzuk Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 We've just ordered 2 HP CP3505n's from Ameiva.co.uk for £285 each (other suppliers quoted >£400 each).
everton4europe Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 Where from Everton? probrand/the it index
dhicks Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 Double / triple check for compatible drivers before purchasing - I still can't get our HP 2600n to connect to any Windows Vista machines. -- David Hicks
Joanne Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 oooh we have a lot of those HP 2600n's and they are good and cheap to run!
dhicks Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 > we have a lot of those HP 2600n's and they are good and cheap to run! Indeed, ours works a treat from Windows XP, I just can't get any of the sixth former's Vista laptops to connect to it! Have you managed to get a Windows Vista machine working with any of your 2600ns, if so how? -- David Hicks
mrbios Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 the 2600ns are good, we have a few too, but imo theres better about, ive been quite impressed by some of the £250ish epson colour lasers recently, good quality and the toner seems to have quite a good life span ones im most pleased with is our leased printers, we have about 7 kyocera printers, though i wouldnt pay for them (there about £700 o_O)
contink Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 TBH... my experience of printer drivers and new Operating systems is that the printer manufacturers all use the new OS as an excuse to force people to buy new printers. You can expect new drivers in about 6 months to a year that are vista capable for the last years worth of printers but probably not anything older.
Zorba Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 Have a look at Kyocera, they will recommend the model that best fits and then the only things that need to be replaced is the toner cartridges. They are fitted with ceramic drums that prolong the longevity of the printer.
john Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 Rent a Toshiba Colour Copier, far far easier and much much cheaper to run. Petrol and Diesel is cheaper than HP Colour Toners.
mrtechsystems Posted December 3, 2007 Posted December 3, 2007 Hi Stu I just had the same 500.00 budget I bought Oki 5650 + 3yrs On-Site Warranty £325 for printer plus full set of cartridges for £147.00 cheap to run aswell drivers all been updated and vista compat http://www.printerland.co.uk
