Looking for a colour laser printer around £1000

Don't really know whats good or whats bad so thought i'd ask here.

Want to use it with windows xp, and print colour brochures aswell as normal black and white text pages.

Duplexer not essential but would be handy.

Any recommendations?

Just purchased 10 days ago Minolta QMS 2300DL.

Very pleased with it and no regrets at present.

All The Best

The Minolta (sure it's the model John mentioned) is about as good as you could do Hos

IIRC it's approx £850 and came second top in the laser printer charts.
The only reason it didn't get full marks was that it cannot serve a network.
I will probably be buying one of these in the near future

PS If you're thinking of selling your car, drop me a line as a friend fancies it

The 2300DL is a network printer.

Additional cost is a 500 sheet tray and duplex feeder. About 250 + V.A.T. I think.

All the best

Cool

2300DL has a higher resolution 2400 x 600dpi.

Plus ethernet connection as standard.

2300W has lower resolution 1200 x 600 and no ethernet connection.

Quite happy to send you a print out on HP brochure and flyer paper gloss plus normal paper if you would like.

All the best

John Catlin
