[_] colour laser printers?

Afternoon All,

I’ve recently bought a Lexmark C525 colour laser printer. I bought it because it was only £450 for full colour and network ready with duplexing. Plus my 8 year old Lexmark laser is still going strong. But


It is really unreliable and eating through consumables like anything. It’s asking for a new yellow cartridge (£108) when I haven’t even printed colour since the last toner change (a month ago). I’m also getting nothing like the c5000 pages that each toner cartridge is supposed to deliver.

I’ve had engineers out etc. and they can’t find a problem. So it looks like the Lexmark is going in the skip.

Can anyone recommend a decent colour, duplex, networked printer that can handle infrequent runs of 500 at a time and doesn’t constantly break/run dry.

Cheers

Jim
