finally got the boss to agree on a limit. $700. He's using some okidata at the other office that he just loves. I've used xerox for several years (but more expensive versions). Just wondering if either one makes a good sub $700 printer. I mean I know they do, but would like to hear any experiences with them. Or if anyone can recommend another. We want 4 toner carts and for drums which I assume most printers in that range would use. A good amount of ram would be good as well as full duplex. Only looking for letter size (obviously with this price range).

I was thinking along the lines of a xerox. but i didn't really want the solid ink technology. My experience has been the opposite of yours. However, I was beginning to lean towards the oki. I think it was the 5650? I'd have to look it up again. But it seemed like a good balance of speed, quality as well as consumable price. And it will be in a storage room so I won't be affected by the horrid aesthetics.

I reallly like the Oki C5800L at work....
They were AWFULLY slow to get 10.5 compatible drivers done, but they have 'em now, and it's back to working fine.
Don't know what the price is...
Be aware that if you need a FULL SET of toners at the same time, it'll cause a wince or orifice pucker, but not as bad as some printer models.
