Using This Blog for Something Useful, part 4

I have to bite the bullet and buy a new printer. I truly suspect that my current one works by housing tiny monkeys who transcribe letters per my computer's instructions, in exchange for bits of banana.

So I definitely want a laser printer, since I often have to print out 40+ pages at a time, and my time is valuable--I'm kind of a big deal.

The other thing though is that I will be printing a lot of graphs with colored lines etc., so it also needs to be good in that respect.

Any thoughts? It can't be ridiculously expensive, but on the other hand it's a tax writeoff so there ya go.

BTW if this is at all relevant, I have a Toshiba laptop running Vista.

    What's your price range? What is expensive to some is not expensive to others.

  2. I can't spend more than $2,000. That's way way more than I want to spend, but if someone can convince me that there's a qualitative leap in reliability, etc., I am open to persuasion.

  3. Hi Bob, last December I bought an HP Color LaserJet CM1015 MFP PCL 6 (includes a scanner), and have been very happy with it. I paid $245 ($284 with shipping) from Officetronics (which I was also very happy with).

    I just checked and the price there is up to $374.25 (without shipping)! Are printers included in the CPI?? Amazon has it for $489.95.

  4. Thanks Larry. Wow that is a big jump in price! I wonder how seasonal adjustments on printer prices work...
