Review summary	Color lasers offer better output quality than this solid-ink printer, but the Xerox Phaser 8500N is faster, less costly to maintain, and kinder to your energy bill.	Excellent print quality, speed, and add-ons make this a great monochrome laser printer for a fast-paced office.	The Xerox Phaser 4400 is a serious laser printer worthy of any busy office environment, large or small.	With fast speeds and impressive print quality, the Lexmark C530dn is a great color laser printer for the price. We prefer it over a more expensive color printer from the competition.
