Looking for a cheap Laser Colour Printer

NewStudent

This is the cheapest I have seen
http://www.misco.co.uk/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=455346

Does anyone have an opinion on this? What are the costs of replacement toners? Is there a cheaper laser colour printer available? Thanks very much.

Compatibles here, though £160 plus VAT for 2700 pages

What type of printing will you be doing?

When do you need the printer?

I won't be doing that much printing, that's why I am looking for a laser printer. I need it within a week or so. Thanks.

Different option, but worth considering

The SX415 is an all in one

http://www.epson.co.uk/Printers-and-All-In-Ones/Inkjet/Epson-Stylus-SX415/Overview

Currently available for £34 here

http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10001&catalogId=1500002901&langId=-1&searchTerms=SX415

The inks are £3 a set here

http://stores.ebay.co.uk/REXTRAS-LTD/_i.html?_nkw=sx415&_arm=1&_armi=Replace+forT0807+%28Hummingbird%29&_armm=351&_ruu=http%3A%2F%2Fstores.ebay.co.uk%2FREXTRAS-LTD%2FReplace-forT0807-Hummingbird-%2F_i.html%3F_nkw%3Dsx415%26_arr%3D1%26_fsub%3D1443312014%26_sc%3D1%26_sid%3D859856154%26_sop%3D15&_sc=1&_sid=859856154&_sop=15&_rdc=1

The laser you linked to has a set of toners for approximately £192 and will produce 2700 pages

The Epson SX415 will do between 240 and 405 pages per set

The Epson figure is based on the likely 6.5ml of ink per genuine cartridge

The Rextras compatible cartridges have 19ml of ink per cartridge so the printer would need around 4 sets of their inks to produce 2700 pages

So, For an outlay of £34 for the printer and £12 for the Rextras inks, the Epson would produce 2700 pages

The Laser would cost £63:60 plus the £192 for compatible toners to produce 2700 pages

If you go for the Epson, run a page of mixed coloured text each week if not used to prevent the ink heads drying

Misco have stopped selling the Laser at the moment but dabs have it

Perhaps someone with experience of Epson Lasers can say if the rainbow pack is the only option
