Tom’s Hardware Color laser printer special
Tom’s Hardware has an elaborate (like always) article up on color laser printers. It features a comparison between the more popular color laser printers out there, but TH also tries to debunk some myths regarding speed, quality and cost. However, only four models got into their roundup, which is somewhat disappointing:
- HP LaserJet 2600n
- HP LaserJet 3600
- Konica Minolta Magicolor 5430DL
- Lexmark C522n
They come to a well balanced conclusion after comparing these 4 color laser printers. Tom’s Hardware writes:
While the purchase prices of one-pass color laser printers may vary greatly, you should be careful not to use purchase price as your only criterion in choosing a printer. The Lexmark C522n has a lot going for it ergonomically, but its performance is too disappointing. The Konica Minolta Magicolor 5 430DL is a very complete printer, but its bulk limits its possible applications. The HP Color LaserJet 2 600n is mostly for people who don’t need to print a lot, given its very high cost per page. The Color LaserJet 3600 represents the best compromise between ergonomics, quality, speed, and cost per page; it’s a shame that its network version costs so much.
