[Printer] Laser Printer questions lip lai !!!

[tonerseller]

Hi all, looking to get a printer to print mainly text documents. Student here so looking for a printer that is economical especially for ink consumption and price.

Some requirements:

1) Decent to good print quality of text as i'll be mostly printing lots of notes and articles.
2) Black and white should be sufficient but colours are welcome if price is acceptable.
3) I will be printing double sides so duplex is a plus point but don't mind manually flipping pages to print duplex if duplex machines are too expensive.
3) Wireless is a must. Although don't need Airprint or google cloud print as will be printing from laptop.
4) Ink refills should be affordable for a student. Good amount of print per cartridge.

After doing some searching online, I came across EPSON L355 which fits most of my criteria especially the ink tanks and $9.90 per ink bottle, up to 4000 pages per black ink refills. But my concern is the printout quality(sharpness) of the text as I would be printing rather small fonts, i believe its an inkjet printer and read some reviews that the text are not sharp. Slightly exceeds my budget of below $300 too.

Any feedback and recommendations for other printers or L355 are welcome!

Dont buy L series bad for text printing. For notes printing, go for laser printer.

Fuji Xerox P265dw $179 plus $30 vouchers or
Brother L2365dw $168 plus $20 vouchers

boss, can quote price for Fuji Xerox toner for M225z: CT202330 ?

Can anyone recommend a laser printer? Color is a only bonus, not a necessity. I'd be OK with B/W. Most important is must last, print well, print cannot come out crooked on paper (my HP does that). No Brother brand please.

upgrade to win 10 now my shared printer cannot work with my XP computer

You've a printer connected via USB to a Win10 computerm. The printer is shared.

And you're trying to print from another WinXP computer?

Set permissions to using accounts and 56bit (I think) in Network Centre. Don't have a computer in front of me, can't remember the terms.

What's an affordable color laser printer and what's the toner cost?

 

[mosmos]

just mono printer only CCP ranges from 2 cents to 3 cents

For color ones, CPP ranges from 2.8 cents to 5 cents

seems like colour printing using laser quite affordable nowadays~

recently saw laser colour printer below $300~

Thanks for the suggestions. So which brand is better in terms of reliability, wifi connection, jamming issues and customer support? Went to challenger just now to take a look and both looks compact and prices are as you mentioned. Do you think it would be cheaper during the upcoming COMEX? Toner wise would it be cheaper if I buy it from you?

Shortlisted couple of Fuji Xerox laser printers. Wonder if anyone has experience with these?

Mono: P265dw, P225d
Colour: CP115w, CP225w

The colour ones print at about half the speed of the mono ones (even when printing b/w). It's about 12/10ppm - sounds incredibly slow, no?

I am using cp115w, bought for $125. Using it to print uni notes and I am quite happy with it
