Looking for a good color laser printer?

By this fall, I want to purchase a color laser printer. I'm looking to spend no more than $400. Can anyone recommend one based on page yield and low cost of ink cartridges? I'm looking to print primarily text with the occasional picture and or logos.Looking for a good color laser printer?
HP 2550L it is a higher volume laser printer, meaning the cartridge print a number of pages and provide excellent value if you are doing a high volume of printing.





It is a desktop printer with a massive footprint. It is network capable with the use or a print server. It is just a really tough high volume laser printer at a very reasonable price.





As a side note if you do decide to go HP (which I would recommend) avoid printers that require cartridge number 6000 6001. 6002, 6003 . The actual cost per page on those bad boys is just about on par with Ink-Jet printing.





You can expect to pay anywhere from about $75 - $300 per cartridge for a laser printer (they take 4) however you page yields are easily 10-20 times that of an ink jet printer. You best bet is to price out the cost of replacements cartridges prior to purchasing the unit. Every printer will have the cartridge numbers printing on the side of the box. Just wonder around staples and work out the cost per page by dividing the the cartridge price by page yield.





If you are not intending to do a high volume of colour laser printing go with a monochrome laser printer and have letterhead made, or do all your specialty print jobs on ink jet. A monochrome laser printer will run you around $100 the cartridges will be cheaper and there are no image transfer kits to worry about. Running a colour laser printer can get very expensive.Looking for a good color laser printer?

If you're doing a lot of colour printing, I would recmmend HP laserjet 1600 or 2600. They are using cart Q6000A, Q6001A, Q6002A, Q6003A.





The printer may be slightly pricey. But it is cheap when compared to other laserjets. On top of that, when the one of the color cartridge run out of toner, you will only need to change the particular one instead of the whole tri-cartridge. A tri-color cartridge for ink jets can't be used once one of the colors run out. The price when compared to ink printers, each cartridge is expensive. But on the long run and quality wise, you can print a lot more and better pics:) The page yield for each cartridge is almost 100 times of a ink cartridge:)





For cheaper solutions to expensive cartridges, you can always look for your local shop selling remanufactured toner cartridges. The quality for remanufactured toner cartridges for small toner cartridges should have much difference.

I'm very happy with my HP PhotoSmart C4180 All-in-One.
Not for that price. Cartridges run $75 too.
