Review summary |
The HP 2605dtn has some flaws, but it prints color cheaply and well enough for small offices, individuals, and small corporate workgroups.
|
This HP is affordable if you want a simple color laser printer with wired networking, but it's sluggish.
|
The tiny Samsung CLP-300 color laser printer is a good bargain for those with very basic print needs. If you need more from your printer, you'll have to spend a little more money.
|
Fast and intelligently designed, the LaserJet 1200 delivers stunning output at an unbeatable price to SOHO users and small workgroups.
|
Small businesses should take a serious look at the Samsung ML-2851ND's monolaser because of its excellent print speed, text print quality, autoduplexer, and networking features. It's a little more expensive than the competition, but its chart-topping test results speak for themselves.
