Review summary |
The Lexmark C522n is inexpensive for a workgroup-ready color laser printer, yet it doesn't compromise on quality.
|
The HP Color LaserJet 3600n is an average-performing color laser printer.

Product Info
|
Despite its lagging black print speeds, the Brother HL-4040CN does a lot of things right and makes a compelling color laser printer for small offices or 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.
