Hello,

I need to buy a color laser printer for the main purpose of printing color labels.

I absolutely MUST get one that prints high quality, and slightly water resitantie:
- no smudges
- no running
- no smearing
- clean/crisp color and text

Any help would be MUCH APPRECIATED

Almost every laser printer you purchase is going to have the same resolution 600×600. Singe the ink is a powder there will be no smudging, running or smearing.

The main factor you are probably going to want to look at would be cost per page. The lowest cost per page generally goes to HP and Samsung.

In this video, I just wanted to see how good of color quality this printer would produce. It wasn’t as good as I was hoping for, but for $13 its a lot better then I thought. The only thing is, (at least when I printed the first two pictures) it printed them very dark, and it inked up the paper pretty heavy. But I just went into the settings and turned down all of the “colors gains” a few notches, and now it prints just fine and not so dark and muddy like you will see in these two pictures.

Hi guys. I’m scouting for an all-in-one printer (home office). I’m after color laser’s excellent (rich and fine) text printing quality which is excellent for proposals. As much as I want to get a color laser, I don’t have budget for it. Is a thermal inkjet (HP) printer the next best alternative? Thanks.

for me, laser printers is still the best. though its much expensive and quite larger than others, it is more reliable and durable.

Everyone tells me that with a laser printer, I save a LOT of money on ink catridges, either because the ink catridges are cheapt, or because the ink catridges last 10000 times longer than the ink catridges on inkjet printers. But I haven’t seen any evidence of this yet.

#1- IT HAS TO DO COLOR
#2- The ink catridges have to be as inexpensive as possible, or atleast they need to last a LOOOOONG TIME
#3- I need a good laser printer, preferrably atleast 1200 dpi.

I’ve been looking everywhere, the one time a found a good printer, someone said the ink catridge replacements were 85 bucks! I pay 20-30 for my crappy inkjet printer!

Can anyone offer some assistance please?

how about—-you just go to Staples or office max or such….

let them help you pick one out.
they can help you style your own life with your tastes and money allowed to spend.

Laser printers have made a mark the world over for their state of the art technology and affordable pricing. These printers are also available with a host of additional features like duplex, wireless and multi-job printing. They also have an ability to produce splendid photo quality graphics. They are smart, sleek, gorgeous and performance oriented. Let us discuss a few select models which topped the charts in the year 2008.

Dell 1320C

Advantages

Priced at around $280, the bulky yet highly efficient laser printer is easy to set up and involves no fuss in terms of operation or installation. At the same time, this printer is easy to maintain and involves minimum manual intervention. You needn’t re-calibrate it. Likewise its spare parts are reasonable priced and easy to procure. The Dell 1320C is known for its sharp images and optimum picture quality. It is also considered the best in its league. The print is crisp and has the required depth to highlight even a dark shade of black.

Disadvantages

Trays and toners are a bit expensive while the menu options tend to get confusing. The printer does not have an extended paper capacity and is therefore not meant for large scale business. At the same time, it is cumbersome and occupies a large space.

HP Color LaserJet 2605 dtn

Advantages

The printer is made to look good and is perfect for a small office. It is armed with additional slots for DCP and it is easy to set up and maintain. The menu is easy to operate and the printer is blessed with a low running ink cartridge cost. The picture quality is good and is perfect for both black and white as well as color prints. The distortion is limited and even darker prints are highlighted. The printer has over 250 sheep trays and it can be combined with envelops and alternative media.

Disadvantages

The drawback is the lack of durability when compared to other cartridges in its range. Likewise, this printer requires gloss paper for high quality resolution photographs-these can be slightly expensive. Moreover, the printer is not at all the fastest in its category.

OKI C5650N

Advantages

This printer is compact, elegant and simply perfect printer for a home office. It is simple to assemble and is easily the best in its class of plug and play. It is also blessed with a descriptive manual. The printer has a capacity to take large volumes of paper and is free from manual intervention. It is blessed with speed and is good in terms of picture quality. Toner cartridges are blessed with a long shelf life while the consumable prices are kept low.

Disadvantages

The menu is a bit confusing and can be misinterpreted by a new user. In order to deliver quality prints to photo shoots, it requires OKI’s glossy paper. Once you are through with printing 25000 sheets, you would need to replace the photoconductor. Last but not the least, the printer slows down while printing a colored image.

color laser printers have become popular and inexpensive, but are any that print on 11" x 17" paper reasonably priced, e.g. less than $1000. My application is for low monthly volume. If there are none at under $1000, what are the least expensive? Thanks.

You will need a commercial printer for that size. Not going to happen for under $1000. You may want to explore a wide format HP design-jet. They are used for commercially quality is good. as well as they do have high capacity cartridges so volume is not an issue.

Good luck.

I don’t want to spend more than about $700 so if not, I will get an inkjet instead

no. the pictures look ok on laser but it is not the same as ink jet , inkjets use a liquid ink and lasers use a powder you will not get the same results. It you are doing photos stick with ink jet it is more expensive to operate but much better pictures.

Large groups and power users can expect results – the HP Color LaserJet CP6015 Printer series is HP’s highest performing and most versatile color laser printer. Get more done with fast print speeds for both black-and-white and color – up to 40 pages per minute (ppm), letter.

Whether you’re printing general office documents, spreadsheets, sales and marketing pieces, posters, or architectural drawings, this printer meets your needs. Print documents from letter size all the way up to 12.6 by 36 inches, and weights from 16 to 58 lb. Complete jobs with less interruption with an input capacity of up to 2,100 sheets, and produce more in-house with options such as stapling, stacking, and booklet making.
