Business Laser Printer solution

**mc.dodd** · 26th September 2019

Hi, looking for some info on a laser printer/printers for business use.
Are there any reasonably priced with good print/toner yield? genreal print use for invoices, print orders etc. Colour preferred.

or is there a kind of lease service for the printer that provides the printer and ink/toner as needed for a fixed cost?

many thanks in advance

I use for personal use a HP MPF M277DW which i picked up second hand from a home business.
It has a small foot print for a laser printer, supports double sided printing has a built in scanner. Lots more features, but i dont use them.
Cheap toners also available on Ebay.

I have a brother colour laser printer and it has been a good workhorse for a few years now.
the model number hw 3140cw

Toners available cheap £26 for four on the bay and it uses WiFi lan or usb as well as AirPrint
I’m pretty sure other have the same printer here and have agreed in the past.

It all depends on the volume of prints you're putting through it. I use a OKI610 (now superseded). The genuine toners and replacement image drums are around £100 each, which at first seems steep but cost per print is very low. A small printing firm next door to me lease their OKI A3 printers and they say it's cheaper than buying.

Hi, thanks for replies. I was just looking at inkjets too? would one of these be better?
just had a quick look at the Epson Workforce Range..any thoughts on this route? The printing is just day to day stuff really

Depends on how many pages your going to print.
A laser printer is better for business use and far more economical.

If you are just printing the odd page here and there then an inkjet would make more sense.

I gave up on inkjets.
If you print a lot it can cost a small fortune in ink.. if you only print occasionally, itll still cost a small fortune in ink as the fookin heads block & you'll have to buy some more ink again!
Thankfully Lexmark printers seem no more, as they were the worst.
