Brother HL-2170W Laser

$167.00 Est. at Amazon

from Mike, www.newegg.com
the only thing that could make this printer any better is to have auto duplexing on it, but then it would not be such a low cost printer.
from www.amazon.com
the speed and quality of the printer are very good too and it does not take up too much space and fits neatly under a low shelf on my desk.
from djmcwill, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: i can't say enough good things about this printer, it's insanely low total cost of ownership (my lord, i've already saved a fortune versus any inkjet one can buy), or the company,
from www.amazon.com
i configured the printer to a lower quality setting to save on toner since that was the initial intention of buying this model.
from www.amazon.com
i reluctantly went with the brother 2170w figuring the cost was so low if it didn't work out i could get another in the near future.

Brother HL-2140 Laser

$120.00 Est. at Amazon

from drgold2000, www.newegg.com
the printer has a laser system that measures toner and cuts the printer off and makes it unusable when the toner is getting low.
from glenngds, www.newegg.com
very low cost per printed page--it is between 6 cents and 12 cents per page figuring in paper and toner compared to 50 cents to $1.00 per printed page for a ink jet figuring in the high costs of ink
from N/A, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: the reason i am adding a follw up is that this printer starts saying cartridge low at 50% capacity.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
this is the first low cost laser printer i've ever had.
from Roarke, www.newegg.com
cartridge cost is a bit high for such a low end printer.

Xerox 8560DN

the drawback is that if you want to keep the warranty, the colorstix you'll need to purchase from xerox, which is incredibly expensive, although there is a lower-cost alternative which will likely
from N/A, www.newegg.com
for the maintenance kit replenishment, you are better off with the lower volume one unless you are using this for a office with 10 or more people.
from Kris, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: the price, if you watch new-egg they run special deals al the time and i picked this baby up about $xxx lower the list price and that was with free shipping.
from Conrad, www.newegg.com
ink usage seems moderate to lower than expected.
from Slowrider, www.newegg.com
total cost per color page appears to be extremely low based on 7,000 pages at this point.

MFC Canon Pixma MP970 Drucker Scanner Kopierer

$383.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i purchased this printer as a general purpose printer and as a low cost photo printer.
from www.amazon.com
there's no real way to set it to save ink (can't find the low dpi or fast res settings) and i've heard some people say that their color tanks were depleted after printing grayscale.
from www.amazon.com
a friend recommended the canon pixma mp970 and told me he could get me free photo paper and it had the lowest ink cost ( this is the i remember part ).
from www.amazon.com
a plus is that it has two paper feeds, a rear feed & a lower tray feed & a place for media cards (compact flash,sd/mmc/ms).
from www.amazon.com
you won't use.another great thing is my wife bought this for my birthday and 1 week later amazon had it at a lower price, $30.00 lower and they credited her charge card immediately upon request.

Canon PIXMA iP4500

$315.00 Est. at Amazon

from Crispin from North Prairie, WI, clickfrom.buy.com
however the caveat to this printer (versus the i960) is that the ink cartridges have a built-in chip that monitors the ink usage and alerts you to low ink levels and replacement time.
from A Customer from Edmond, OK, clickfrom.buy.com
one tip is to keep using the printer even after you get a low ink warning for a particular cartridge.
from gismann, reviews.cnet.com
the ip4500 has a seperate black ink cartridge that is used for text printing...and prints text at a lower resolution(but still laser quality) in order to increase speed.
from www.amazon.com
quality of print for a low-priced printer is quite good.
from www.amazon.com
you can get the printer for a very low cost and to offset these cheap prices they jack up the prices on the ink and then put chips on them so you are forced to buy the manufacturers ink.

from www.bestbuy.com
also, the catch tray after the document comes out above the adf feed (lower) doesn't appear to have enough room to handle the load of paper that fits into the feed tray, it is a fairly narrow area
from www.amazon.com
the printer has a low form factor - so it blends nicely with the office.
from www.amazon.com
home use (not for office or you print a lot, and a lot meant 1000 page a month) do not hesitate and add it to your cart and you will never find a printer do everything for this relatively low price.
from www.amazon.com
i needed a low cost multifunction printer with reasonable speed, built in networking, and ink that was available at deep discount from aftermarket dealers.
from www.amazon.com
it's a low-cost machine that does almost everything, and most of what it does, it does well.

i had hoped the color would be sharper but for low level presentations, this type of printer is more than sufficient.
from www.amazon.com
the result is a low cost color laser printer with a price tag even a small law office can embrace.
from www.amazon.com
it is a little on the slow side, but not bad if your print demand is low.
from www.amazon.com
the xerox phaser 6130 is a lower priced color laser printer that will satisfy many users that don't have demanding printing needs but would like the benefits of a color laser instead of a color ink

from James Ballenger from Richmond, VA, clickfrom.buy.com

by purchasing it at buy.com i was able to spend about the same as the lower model i was looking for.
from ChipDawes, reviews.cnet.com
i'll have to give a follow up report on this, but since the scanning works very well when initiated from a computer, this push feature will get a low priority from me.
from www.mwave.com
what makes this of such great value is that this device can replace a dedicated duplex scanner, which can typically cost about $300 on the lower end!
