Hi:
I willl be shopping soon for a color laser for my home office, and am
hoping I can get some informed recommmendations.
In the past, I've normally gone for used oldie-but-goodie small office
workgroup equipment from eBay which can be had at a good initial price
and has decent availability of reasonably priced ink/toner. The cost
per printed sheet tends to be better than new consumer grade things,
and the machines themselves are sturdy workhorses made to last.
As examples, I have an HP Deskjet 560c ($25 for the printer, $5-10 for
*large* cartridges) and an HP Laserjet 4+ ($70 for printer with
network card, 114m memory, duplex attachment; $15-25 for toner
cartridges). Using HP service manuals and parts from eBay, I'm able to
do my own maintenance.
With that as background, can anyone recommend a color laser to search
for? I would be using it mostly text, some PowerPoint slides and light
non-professional graphics, no photographs.
Basically, I'm looking for a laser replacement for my color inkjet for
maybe under $400.
EBay appears to have alot of Color Laserjet 5 printers for under $250,
with good availablility of accessories/spare parts. Anyone know about
them? I'm unable to find any reviews on the model.
Many thanks for any advice or direction anyone can kindly offer.
