3) low usage, prob <300 sheets/YEAR
4) toner upkeep as cheap as possible

a) color VS mono
b) wifi VS no wifi

Thanks a million folks =D

Welcome to the laser club. Once you used laser, no more turning back to the money sucking inkjets.

No wifi (USB connection only)

1. Change it under printer properties duplex printing: 1 sided print

2. The tray is to protect your paper against dust

I have manual duplex as my default as I tend to print a lot of documents double sided. I do on occasion however print single sheets. Isn't there a setting for the printer to be slightly smarter when it comes to printing single sheets?

My old HP printer had the same settings and didn't print blank pages for me to flip when single pages were sent for printing.

Yup comex is the time for bargain hunters. Freebies + price discount.

For your requirement you can consider Fuji Xerox M215b or Brother DCP-7060d

Fuji Xerox M215b
Cost per page is 4.3 cents

Brother DCP-7060d
Cost per page is 4.6 cents

These are my final 2 choices too,
Based on past comments, Fuji has the better cost efficiency and print quality. Brother is more expensive but has auto duplex.

I frequently print on duplex so i'm kinda lost as to which one to pick..
Is the manual duplex on Fuji easy to operate?

is using CP105b, when the even pages had printed out, the printer will pause and waiting for the even pages that had printed out to put it back to the in tray, without flipping or turning the pages, then press a button to proceed to print the odd pages.
the disadvantage is that when the printer feeds in more than 2 pages (touch wood, haven kenna yet)(every time when input paper, do a fan on the papers), all the alignment will go hay wire...

Hi, I'm currently thinking of getting a laser printer. Reading all these post, I assume that Fuji Xerox is a pretty good brand. Is the colour printing quality good and is it more cost efficient for colour printing on laser printer?

unfortunately, the printer is abit dumb and cannot recognize unless you change the settings. what you can do is to not flip when you take ur print out. Just hit the red button and cancel your print job so you dont have to flip it.

Their color quality is the best in the market. If use compatible toners more cost savings

Thanks bro, you give a good recommendation.

For MFC-9330CDW, I can live without good print and auto duplex for its price, but it seems that the original consumables are quite controlled price and yield/page works out to be quite high over Canon's.

If let's say I push my budget to MF8580CDW, what other options will I have? - priority is affordable consumables.

PS: I lost faith with compatible toner cause I used one a year back on my Samsung, keep printing out poorly (like the toner powder sticking and cannot spread)

Are the compatible toners reliable these days?

Anyone with laser printer questions can come in and ask !!

Currently in the market the top 3 brands are Fuji Xerox, Brother and Samsung.

List the specs of printer that you are looking in this way so hwzers can assist you better!

1. Mono or Colour
2. Print, Print Scan Copy (3in1) or Print Scan Copy Fax (4in1)
3. Printing capacity per month
4. Budget
5. Other extra requirement like wireless, iphone printing etc.

Cheers !!

Bro much appreciate to gather some advice from you as i'm looking at 2 brands: Canon 3in1 laser and Fuji Xerox 3in1 laser.

Canon MF4820d 1 model
Fuji as long as it's duplex but i'm unsure which available model

I prefer to compare based on the toner budget and quality between these 2 brand. Doesn't require wireless/additional features as long as it's compatible to both Windows and Mac.

I have a question to ask regarding Fuji Xerox toner cartridge.

I bought a toner cartridge from eBay and I wish to test it on the printer. Do I just do it and replace the original toner cartridge? Will I be able to put back the original toner cartridge after testing so that I can keep the eBay toner cartridge?

kiwi which model you bought? should have bought it from taobao. the price in ebay is quite expensive unless you got those from US seller, those hongkong/china seller source their toner from taobao.

Should be no problem if your cartridge comes with the chip

Hello guys! I'm looking for a toner printer that is really cheap so I can bring abroad to print lots of stuff whilst studying. As long as it's not too heavy(say <7kg), and the toner cartridge is cheap, I don't really care for brands or anything. Having said that, it would definitely be a plus to own a reliable machine.
What would you recommend?
My budget is $150+-, and if it might aid your assessment, I'm heading to the UK.
A big thank you in advance!
