Title: Buying new color laser printer - need advice
Post by: MamaMoose on June 06, 2006, 04:56:43 AM

I am looking into buying a new color laser printer to replace my old monochrome elite 1200 printer. My requirements are:

•  duplex (2 sided printing)

•  500 page paper tray

•  envelope feeder

*  10/100 basre T ethernet port

•  Bonjour enabled

• Price ~ $1000 or less

•  Reasonable pages per minute speed


Anyone have a recommendation based on personal experience? Also, anyone can point me to reviews of the various manufacturer's products?

Thanks,

MamaMoose

I think this one here does most of the above

I personally have the magicolor 2350 and love it! Great printer

The Xerox Phaser line looks impressive for features and for use of 'solid' block colors instead of toner.

No personal experience, but heard good things about them.

Spec sheet is here

Phasers are great!  The one problem I've seen that wasn't user caused was an occasional streak on the output which usually settles itself out over a few copies.  I've had users attempt to cram the wrong color/shape of block into the things (square pegs can be put into round holes if you pound hard enough).  If I could afford one for myself I'd buy it!
