Laser Printer

Hi
Anyone here got any experience wif these two printer

Canon LBP 2410 and Epson C900

Buying it to print some in-house brochure/catalog

Thanks in advance

The Canon LPB 2410 is a colour laser printer without the RIP engine, it's only got the printing engine and some memory. Meaning that u r using ur PC as the spooler and RIP, so it will greatly depends on the power of your CPU.

Also the toner cartridge is 4-in-1, ie CMYK all in 1 cartridge, 1 colour use finish, change the whole cartridge. But nevertheless, it's dirt cheap for a colour laser, SRP around $1.5k, should be able to get cheaper on the street.

Not familar with the Epson though.

But if u got double the budget, I would think Xerox Phaser 6200 is good, seen the colour output and speed, for the price/performance, but it's ard $3.5k though.

Wow tha's fast, Thanks

4-in-1 cartridge ? but I was quoted prices for three individual C-M-Y color cartridge because the salesman say c/w original only good for 100 or so pages.

Any way I'm more concern wif the color ouput of the pictures.
Is it comparable to an inkjet or better?

Usually its a couple of 4x6 digital pic wif some text description on an A4 size paper.

Thanks

I have all these printers in front of me now, I can tell u that Canon 2410 is actually same as HP 2500/1500 series

even their toners and imaging unit are compatible with each other

image quality is good, but yellow and blue colour not as nice as HP 2500/1500, HP's colour is the best IMO

for Epson, there are a few model, 900, 1900....etc

I dun really like Epson colour laser, firstly their toner finish VERY fast....and the colour is too contrasty, changing of toner is difficult, u need to dig thru the menu to change toners

the print sever is lousy, but good thing is that it use cheap PC100 RAM modules

for Xerox 6200, the toner is the most expensive, the print server is lousy, ram upgradable using SODIMM, very very slow printer, long warm up time too

what other printers u have in mind? I can give u a brief review

no lar...not 4-in-1

HP 1500 now less than 1.5K, and they are actually same printer

yes very good, +-14000each

Thank people

Wai - I had the same feeling about epson. Juz learn about the HP 1500, paiseh

Phaser are out of my budget.

I will seriously consider HP now. Have always used HP laser but tot I could try other brands but everytime kenna led back to HP.

Thanks everyone

almost S$15k leh, but it is A3 printer

so huge and heavy that need 3 pple to carry

changing of toner is quite messy due to the design, u will find toners stains everywhere very soon. if you are careless, u may spoil the imaging unit during installation, cos there isn't any protection of the imaging unit

many consumables to buy, and they are very expensive
1 x waste toner tray, 4 x toner and 4 x imaging units, while canon and HP only have 4 x toner and 1 x imaging unit

as usual, Xerox colour is too contrasty for my liking....but the output is slightly glossy, which looks very nice

best for printing of color graphics, but not good for photos

blue appears purple sometimes

got TRUE Adobe PS support (while HP only PS emulation)

but IMO, HP's emulation seems better



speed not bad, but the printer server not as powerful as HP jetdirect
