Cheap Mono Laser Printer

Looking to get a cheap laser printer to print mainly documents and labels.

A few models that come up are:

Brother HL-2130
Samsung ML2165
Samsung ML1865
Fuji Xerox P205B

Just not sure which one to go for or what's the best in terms of both value and replacement toner/consumables. Also have consider other brands and models as well.

Comments

  • They are all much of a muchness, with cheap toners available on eBay.

    I would recommend the ML2165 just because it is the best model out of the two samsungs youve picked there and the drum+toner is one cartridge (meaning the drum is regularly and automatically replaced with the toner, unlike the HL-2130 which while a great printer, is basically worthless once the drum needs replacing).

  • Thanks for the advice

    I'm just not sure which one is more economical to run as I have costed out both printers. Or how often you need to change the drum on the Brothers. Since the Samsung seems more expensive to run in the long run.

    Brother HL-2130 $35 Drum $36-$44 Toner $24 (High yield 2600 pages)
    Samsung ML-2165 $38 Toner/Drum $95 (yeild 1500 pages)

    • Well… You don't really have to change the brother drum unless it starts to show lines across the page or white splodges where there should be text.

      Either way, if you needed a new drum, just buy a new printer set.
