button_ripple Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Can anyone recommend me a good colour networkable laser printer. It needs to be able to do at least 3000 pages a month. Cheap toner and preferably be able to duplex. It doesn't need to do fancy paper sizes or have fancy add-on's (wireless, bluetooth, photo's, etc...) Looking for around £100-400 Thanks!
enjay Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Konica Minolta Magicolor 5450 will do that. We have some here from http://www.printersforschools.co.uk on a leasing scheme, they also do free printers in exchange for buying consumables from them (which isn't the con it might sound like, as their consumables are really well priced).
DMcCoy Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 HP COLOUR LASERJET 2605DN is currently £285.99 at Misco. Give their education dept a call and they should be able to knock off a few pennies of plus free delivery. It's just so ugly!
plexer Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 Konicas are damn expensive get the HP refilled carts are fine for them. Ben

Edu-IT Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 HP COLOUR LASERJET 2605DN is currently £285.99 at Misco. Give their education dept a call and they should be able to knock off a few pennies of plus free delivery. I would also recommend the above printer.
plexer Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 So have I switched back to HP originals in our 4600 but now back on refills that work great. Ben
Trapper Posted February 19, 2008 Posted February 19, 2008 HP Colour Laserjet 2605n? About £300. I'd agree with that. We have one and it's great.
meastaugh1 Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 How do you find the wait time with the 2605? Is the first page wait time consistently 20 seconds as suggested in the reviews?
Geoff Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Upgrade the firmware. http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=18972&prodSeriesId=1140727&prodNameId=1140732&swEnvOID=1005&swLang=8&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=ly-40741-3
meastaugh1 Posted March 9, 2008 Posted March 9, 2008 Thanks, sounds promising. Now just need to check the max media weight used. I was surprised by the rec max media weight difference between 2600 and 2605, 176 g/m2 and 105 g/m2 respectively.
