Color laser AOI for small business.

[Poppa_Meth]

We are having a hell of a time trying to find a decent all-in-one for our small business. Everything is made so cheap now that you can't but decent printer at a decent price. I'm not even sure you can buy a decent printer at an insane price.

We are contemplating the move from ink to laser, even on a color machine. We mainly print business documents and the majority of the color is coded price lists, not photographs. Can anyone recommend a good reliable Color Laser AIO that won't totally break the bank?

Thanks.

AIO printers are a problem magnet.
You're better off with separate units.

Yeah I know, but in a small business environment, they want something to double as a copy machine. I'd personally get a budget laser for that and a separate color printer and scanner.

I have the Canon MF8180c.. for 4yrs with not 1 issue.

Just got another Canon.. see below.. would def recommend it

Look for "workgroup" or "business class" devices. For example:

that is a small business/workgroup printer..

I have 55 employees and all are using it to fax / fax over network... print and scan locally

NEWEGG has it for

you don't specify in your original post how many users need to print / fax to it

[Poppa_Meth]

We only have 4 employees and 1 of us knows how to actually use any feature other than hitting print, copy, or fax.

So the below printer would be great for your needs

and at 699... it really won't break the bank

If you go with a HP OJ8500.... your cost per page with those little toner cartridges will be a hell of alot
more in the end... Being in the business for 27+ yrs ... I would def say the Canon above would perfectly
suit your needs for a long time to come
