Recommend a reliable office printer - volcs0 - 10-09-2006
I've been asked to recommend a printer for one of our workrooms (at a hospital).
It will be a "workhorse" printer for printing protocols, labs, etc.
Priorities should be
1. Speed
2. Duplex
3. Reliability
Color is not necessary.
Workload would be 50-500 pages/day (usually closer to 100).
Cost should be $500-$1000.
Suggestions?
Thanks.

As much as I hate Lexmark inkjets--we have good luck with the Lexmark Lasers.

Your load doesn't seem that heavy. The HP 1320 is a pretty rugged lp with duplexing, plenty fast (~20 pages/min??), and I think your load is within its rated capacity.

I go with HP, Lexmark seems to be winning the office wars though.

HP 1320 is either 5000 or 10000 pages per month rated capacity.

I have the HP 1320 and it is fine for home office use, but the paper try only holds about 100 sheets, and most Lexmarks hold a full ream.

the 1320tn is the big boy of the 1320 series -- exrtra trays and ethernet
but it sounds like you should move up to a 3000 series or even 4000 series HP

4000 series are rated at 200,000 pages -- great machines -- i have worked with the older 4000 series printers, they crank

My HP1320n holds a half ream of paper.
rated 10,000 pages a month (fwiw)
great for my small office
500 pages a day might be pushing it.
One of my sub-contractors buys HP toner in bulk.
Has a copy/laser repair business.
Parts should be cheaper through him, too.
Only does HP.

If you're willing to buy used, ebay has great deals on HP 4000 printers all the time, and those things are tanks.

This hospital has big pockets. I put in a recommendation for a HP P3005dn.
Thanks for the help.
