Re: laser printer recommendation ?

2009-01-16 by tomservo_9504

Bit of a stale thread but I'll throw in my 2c... I've had some 
experience with a number of Lexmark laser printers (NOT inkjets) that 
were more than satisfactory. I uninstalled a few at some sites 
(office depots) that had as many as 550k pages of *cardstock* through 
them. These were Optra R series printers, and the S and T series are 
every bit as good.. 

The nice thing is, you can pick up lightly used printers for change - 
I paid $65 for a T520 with 63k pages on it. I bought two new 20k page 
toner carts (drum incl) for $15 each, SHIPPED. 

The print quality remains very high to (nearly) the last page of the 
cartridge, which is unusual for many laser printers. Unfortunately I 
haven't done any transfers with it, I need to get more "release" and 
give it a try I guess.
