Several years ago I bought a Ricoh C410DN color laser. Best printing decision I ever made! It cost about $700, and after something like 15,000 pages I have yet to go through the second set of toner bottles that I bought for it.
It prints quite fast (rated 24ppm, and has a fast enough processor to maintain that speed for a lot of the things I send it besides truly-heavy graphics), has duplexer built in, and rivals ink-jet for photo quality. $700 sounds like a lot for a printer but the per-page cost is dramatically lower. Toner comes in inexpensive clear plastic bottles that hold a huge amount. I'm sure this model has been replaced with some other; one current model is C430DN (but that's >$1000). This vendor focuses on the office market so they have zero presence in the consumer market. -rich _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
