Printer Scanner Copier

[Joshua Conner]

I am looking for a printer scanner copier for about 15 employees it must be laser and print in color.   I have always gone with HP but I bought an M577 and it has been terrible and so have many other hp of similar caliber.   I have been looking on Amazon and I don't see any large enough to handle the workload I will throw at it.   

Any advice?

For color, we went with Ikon/Ricoh.  The fact that they maintain it makes it worth it for us.  Many many years ago I was doing the non-leased printer thing and that got pricey and became a pain in the rear.  We actually have one on each floor, but I don't think there are even 15 people in the entire office today.

Gee, now I'm feeling really good about the M478 the boss-man purchased     It's been fine so far (other than the "login" required by the scanning app so they can data-mine  ) but it is not getting a huge amount of use.

I was going to suggest the same thing as Mark.  At the agency we got really good service out of some Ricoh's purchased used after coming off 3-year leases.  Did the same with a Canon at my last gig.  Don't know how that fits in your budget.  The maintenance agreement is key.  They usually want the toner controlled - you have to buy from them or buy the preferred brand or the contract is null.  In both cases we had the toner included in the maint. contract, and negotiated hard on the per page charge.

If you're looking for something you won't have serviced by an outside company, we love Brother these days.  Parts and toner are abundant.  Inexpensive enough that if you end up with any serious issues outside of warranty, you just replace the thing.  Sad but true reality of disposable equipment.
