Hi Team,
It has been a while since this was asked however, has anyone seen any decent deals on colour laser printers / scanners recently?
Looking to get 4 of these for a charity organisation so really focused on price.
Must haves:
Laser not inkjet
Colour
Duplex printing
Duplex scanning
Network connectivity
Nice to have:
Wireless
A3
Thanks Team.
Yeah happy to do exactly that.
The A3 was a nice to have because the charities print their own banners etc.
High resolution paper is brilliant. Just 50 cents a sheet and to my eye it prints almost as good as normal photo paper https://www.inkdepot.com.au/canon-hr-101na3ii-a3-high-resolu…
I should buy some actually. I been using Canon Glossy for everything and the costs are adding up.
Brother
I recommend Brother MFC 8690 A4 due to availability of cheap generic toners. Like $80 for a set of 4 generic vs $600 for a set of originals. A3 colour laser would be out of the league of small charities cost wise. It's about $600 from TGG Commercial. The charity should be able to get a business account with TGGC.
any idea if MFC-L2880DW has a generic toner counterpart?
No idea. Look up the toner part number on brother website and then search on google, ebay etc for compatible toners.
Hey, where would i find a set of 4 generics for $80. Cheapest I'm finding is in the $108
Ended up getting 4 x Brother MFC 8690 CDW for $600 each from the Good Guys through negotiation. The price checker on their site bought it down from $747 to $648 but I phoned up and got another $48 off because I was buying 4.
Thanks everyone for your help!
Wow that's a great price. I want to buy one and best I've seen is Harvey Norman on sale at $668.
Colour A3, that'll cost a bit. Would be better off buying an A4 laser and a large format inkjet and use "high resolution paper" for A3.
