Printers/MFDs

Post by **TheCatt** » Thu Aug 31, 2006 9:00 pm

So... anyone here got a printer/multi-function-device or advice about one?

I am planning to start a small company next year. As such, I'd like to have something that can a) print black and white fast and cheap, b) scan in color, c) fax, and d) make b&w copies. Automatic document feeder is almost essential, as is direct network hookup instead of just USB.

I'm thinking that a laser B&W MFD, $250-400 is my target.

Any thoughts?

I know a couple of good, long-lasting, reliable devices that would fit the bill, but they cost a few grand.

I have a Brother 410cn. Built-in ethernet, 10 sheet auto doc feeder. Scan/fax/print/copy. It's ink cartridge based though. You can get them less then $100. Very small printer considering all it does. On the shelf below it I have an HP laserjet 6p for my bulk/non-color printing.

I buy the consumables for both off ebay at much much lower prices than I'd pay at Staples/Officemax.
