I researched and found that cartridges for this machine are a lot cheaper than those for HP's and the toner that comes with the printer has a page yield of 1500 color and 2500 b&w. The Hp's came with toner that had only 750 page yield then you had to pay approx $140 for the toner cartridges for replacement when with this one you can choose toner cartridges for suitable around $70 which is half the stamp with more page yield. So far I have printed 450 pages on the starter cartridges and the toner amount has not lowered and the print quality is safe!
first, everybody else is right: astronomical solid construction, prints snappy after initial warm up, toner cartridge mark is reasonable. The initial cartridges that advance with it seem to be lasting OK. Imprint is legal.
I'm unbiased going to list some downsides here:
1) idea are doing an setup of about a half hour to 45 minutes, it involves a lot of unpacking, inserting components, and removing shipping pins and installing software. No ample deal there.
2) the colors printed are not going to be exactly what you envisioned, a graphic of a nice red finish note is going to more of a pastel, maybe even purplish, a green will be muddy, the only essential color that will be end is yellow. I know this is a product of CMYK printing, but retain this is mind if you're doing brochures.
3) pages have a heavy curl to them after printing. Not really a pickle with standard paper, but if you're using card stock (like I spend for door hangers), you have to go to the disaster of trying to uncurl them before reinserting them serve in the tray to print the other side, otherwise you're looking at a paper pickle. This wasn't an snarl with my older b/w laser, so I was totally surprised by this.
again: tall printer, apt mark (although I bought it from amazon at $275 and now it's at $359, not determined what happened there) fair be aware of the issues I had
Very pleased with this. Amazon had a $120 instant rebate on this making it $293 shipped next day air. Not terrible for a 74lb box.
Vista drivers were included and setup was a snap. Sad text is bright and crisp, with better photos than I expected - objective plot the print preferences -> Advanced to 2400 dpi mode (in Windows, not on the printer itself) .
It did miss out some lines on a tiny graph, but this is also corrected by the "improve thin lines" option in the printer driver.
Overall a bargin with the rebate - shapely worthy the same trace as the toner.
