Approximate Starter Page Yield: 500 Pages
Hmmmm… looks like it will cost almost $400 to replace the toners at OW after the first 500 pages…
maybe the printer is cheaper from there too ?
OMG you are such a dirty troll
Meritline can do a CMYK set for between US$76-103:

…I'd be curious if the $200 set is actually made by HP.
meritline don't post all items internationally. ink cartridges for my current printer are one of those items.
Cheaper from Inkarnation and its based in Melbourne.

and remember - with averaging 1200 or so pages per lot of toner, you have to remember you're replacing FOUR toners after every 1200 pages, so even if you're getting compatible toners for $50 each, that means it's costing you 4 x $50 = $200 per 1200 pages = 16.666 c per page - and that's for COMPATIBLE laser toners
/end maths lesson
PS - my HP laserjet colour laser 1600 is currently sitting at $1.29 on ebay as we speak (for real) !!
nvm, beat by jv for his own QA
16mb memory is a deliberate limitation. 16mb is usually a limit for b/w printers, i don't know how it would work for 600dpi colour images?
Not sure if I'm doing this right but it should be enough JUST
A4 = 11.7 x 8.3 inches
11.7 x 600 = 7,020 pixels
8.3 x 600 = 4,980 pixels
Total = 34,959,600 pixels
1 bit per pixel = 4.16MB
4.16MB x 4 colours = 16.64MB
minus non printable areas
plus a bit of overhead
minus a bit of compression = ~16MB
The printer doesn't have to store the whole image in its own memory at once; the PC can store the image and just feed the printer strips of image to be printed & discarded one after another.
Printer RAM's more for when you're feeding the printer a whole PostScript/PDF file, and expecting the printer to turn it into a bitmap itself.
Laser printers need to store the whole page because they print so fast
Can I suggest you Google "Host based printer" or "GDI printer", for examples of printers (including laser printers) that don't need to store the whole page before they start printing?
Good for 500 pages, then chuck it out and buy another one or be up for $400 worth of toner
Would the "colours" realistically run out after 500 pages or just the black?
I would get this if it had Wifi.
I don't expect printers to come with full toners, since this is a razor vs razorblades industry, but what percentage of a full toner is included in the starter toners?
I don't expect printers to come with full toners
my HP colour laser did… (LaserJet 2600n)
That's going back a while.
yeah… i should have stocked up on them… got it for about $200 with 4 full cartridges…
Me too. Built like a tank and sounded like one when it was printing. Still one of my favourites.
How much did the printer cost at the time, and how long ago was it?
My first laser cost $4000. My second cost about $600-700. They both came with full toners.
Now they are sub $100. When toners still sell for over $100, you really can't expect a full toner with a printer for under $100. No one would buy toners. They'll just get another printer for less than the price of a toner.
Can we assume it's mono?
Hi everyone,
Here’s a colour laser printer you might be interested in
• Colour/Black & White
I was going to say the same, but assumed that geewhiz couldn't have been so stupid as to miss 2 references to this printer being colour and therefore "Mono" must mean something else.
Yes you only get ONE printer
stereo printers are not very common…
Or the even rarer 5.1 surround printer…
We have one of those at work but the sub blew, now it sucks and only prints 5.0
Is this a good price for a colour laser printer? Looking to get what in August.
Does it come with FULL toners ?
