PeterJames Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Is this for personal use? I have a Dell multi function laser printer at home, that I am very happy with. The toner is very cheap on Ebay and Amazon (copy not original) I purchase another for the office and that one even has WPS we no longer have a photo copier, we scan anything that needs to be copied, but most jobsheets are electronic. My one is like this only it is smaller and cheaper but not by that much https://www.amazon.co.uk/Dell-S2815dn-Ethernet-Multifunction-Printer-Black/dp/B0170RA7KS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1523280938&sr=8-1&keywords=dell+multifunction+colour+laser+printer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Brother HL-3170CDW would be the newer duplex version of my colour laser which has been solid over the years. Friend of mine has a MFC-9340CDW and has been pretty happy with it, not sure how much he's used the duplexer mind. I normally avoid anything Lexmark myself, from past experience. I was also going to ask if SOHO use? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the Dell 1660 (my second one) and it's been faultless, gets little use now the kids are both at uni.

MrHappy Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Iirc dell printers are rebranded Lexmark I have cheapo mono dell printer & a Lexmark multifunction cira £160inc vat However genuine toner is dearer than others. Scanning stuff is quicker & easier with a brother ADS rather than using MFP 1 Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrHappy Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 My Dell E310dw has been pissing me off for a bit, with poor paper pick up, cleaning rollers helped but its not great. Its only done 6500 pages & has 5000 pages left in the drum... It been run on generic toner from amazon, the printer is a rebranded Brother. Before I kick it across the carpark,- has anyone had an Oki ? https://www.printerland.co.uk/product/oki-b412dn/135140 generic 3k toner is £22 v £80 for 3k oki Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixwheeledbeast Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 You can pick A4 Mono Brothers up for less but the p/p is more if you use genuine ink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On genuine ink the Lexmark mono lasers with 10k mono cartridges offer low cost per page, But I'd wince at big toners coming in at 1.5 of the machine Quote Mr Veritas God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixwheeledbeast Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 It's all down to the machine really, as the price of the machine goes up often the p/p comes down and the amount of pages before service increases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrHappy Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 printerland, state price per print & the toner pages count & drum cycles without having to look at the spec sheets.... the sweet spot is £100-£150ish for mono, cheap is too cheap & going dearer they'll designed to print every document I'll do in year in week...
