Printer Recommendations

[bga]

Hi All,

My faithful Samsung ML-1510 has drawn it's last breath & it's time for a replacement.

It won't be used for any heavy duty printing so speed isn't critical, however good text quality and acceptable colour graphics are required.
Not that fussed about printing photo's, nor am I overly fussy over laser 'vs' inkjet. The only thing I want to avoid is having a multifunction unit as I already have a good scanner & use eFax for faxing stuff

Any recommendations would be good, budget is up to £200 but lower is always good.

Cheers

For all-round printing (i.e. black text, colour graphics) you'll struggle to better a decent colour laser. Only if you print lots of photos will a good inkjet be superior to a budget colour laser.

I use the Dell 3100cn (networked colour laser printer) for home use. I've had it for 18 months and it's been great and I haven't changed an ink cartridge yet - not bad considering I print much more than a typical home user. I believe the Dell printers are re-badged Lexmarks but I could be wrong. The Dell 3010cn starts at £167 exc. VAT and delivery.


Having said all of the above, HP printers are usually the best, but you pay for the privilege and I'm very happy with my Dell.

Samsung CLP600N. Picked mine up for the equivalent of 151 quid + taxes after rebate.

Can't get anywhere near that price in the UK though, sadly:-

Good printer, though.

Samsung also do a small colour laser more suitable for home use
