The HP Color Laserjet CP1518NI is a 12 ppm, color laser printer.
Compared to other color lasers on the market, it is very inexpensive at around $325.

Pros:
Only measuring 16" x18" x10", this printer is compact and easy to fit into a small office.
This printer supports color at a resolution of 600 dpi x 600 dpi.
