Hi guys, i just want a duplex monochrome printer. No need any fanciful network printer and also just single function print.
Currently went to the show and was looking at the fuji xerox DocuPrint P225d.
Cheap as it is only $50. But of cause i will need to purchase the 1200page tonner at $49 to qualify for the promo.
Is there anything i need to take note of?
All along i have been using Canon laserjet. And the drum is all comes with the toner itself. So didnt have to worry much.
This time round the p225d has a seperate drum. And its a carry in warranty. 3 years inclusive if drum warranty.
Is it something ok to buy?
Not sure if you bought it. Just set up over the weekend to work alongside my Canon 4820D and I must say I'm quite impressed by it.
Easy set up on OSX, pretty matured drivers and quiet operation. The duplex looks steady enough.
Only downside is the drum, which you actually can damage it while replacing the toner, so have to be extra cautious with that.
On the bright side the toner can be used across many different models, unlike the Canon ones where if I have bought the original 328 toner, it could have cost the same as the fuji xerox deal and if the printer spoil, the toner is as good as down the drain.
