Printer Suggestions

[DalekSec]

I'm looking for replacements for our older Brother HL-21 Printers, turns out there is a lot of competition in this area of the market so unsure what to get!

 

The printers need to be: Networkable, Duplex, Laser Mono, Under £200 really, Cheap running costs (Toner price and page yield) and not to tall in height (The current ones are 17cm high so don't want it massively bigger than that if needs be)

 

Any of you guys recommend some printers?

 

My short list is currently this:

 

Printer Name	Cost	Page Yield	Toner Price	Height Difference
Hp LaserJet Pro M402dne	£155-£188	3100	£22-£40	+5cm
Brother HL-L2365DW	£132	2600	£10-£35	+1cm
Samsung M2825ND	£85	3000	£16-£53	+3cm
Xerox Phaser 3260DNI	£124	3000	£33-52	+5cm
Samsung Xpress M2835DW	£143	3000-6200	£33-55	+3cm

Oki B412 mono laser printer?

 

I got 2 of these seem to be cheep to run (eco mode on 1 and no one noticed yet)

Personally I would go with the Brother. Wouldn't touch OKI with a bargepole after the last ones we had of theirs.

 

Great thing about Brother is the compatibles are usually very cheap!

Me neither. Scarred for life by the two we had.

I also don't like OKI. We had some colour lasers. The quality was really good, but they were unreliable and very expensive to run.

We've got several HP LaserJet M402's in student areas and they are pretty bomb proof to the point I'd almost consider putting one in the PE office....

Never even heard of OKI, i think it's a toss up between the Samsung M2825ND and Brother HL-L2365DW

Wouldn't touch there colour lasers but monos seem to be alright so far.... plus 3 years warranty

Stay away from OKIs if you value your sanity. A mess of toners, compatibility issues with non-originals and error codes that mean 20 different things.

 

Also stay away from HP Officejets if you ever consider inkjet printers. Never had too many problems with their lasers though.

 

I'd go Brother since it's already on your shortlist, the Brothers I've used have all been pretty reliable.

Put one of these in and it's been nothing but trouble. The company Oki used for repairs were useless too.

The replacement is okay but they feel cheap too.

 

Used to love the older oki colour lasers - until they got very expensive to run.

HP? I'd for HP 3015dn. They're quite big printers but the toner lasts ages. Also, they very rarely break down.

Can vouch for 3015dn printers. Got 5 and they have been rock solid. Am looking at a Lexmark MS610dn which I am told works out to 1.1p per print. Also looking at Epson RIPS system which is like managed print.
