I have just started investigate to buy a color multifunction laser printer. Mixed reviews out there. I want to spend 0 or so (or less!). Anyone been thru this process that can help me with result a reliable machine with reasonable quality print, low cost per page for toner. I am not as concerned about noise or warm up time. I am considering a brother 8480 and the hp 2320nf. I am open to other suggestions.
OOps I reflect it is the Brother 9440 color.
I know the toner is cheaper for the brother, but the drum needs replaced every 17000 or so copies. It is expensive to replace. I reflect we do about 7000 pages a month on this machine in our small office.

Hello,

The Brother MFC-9440CN consumables are cheaper and it does print at a higher resolution, but for an office environment we would recommend the HP CM2320nF because each time you replace the toner cartridge you are also replacing the drum, and charge roller for that particular color. Moreover, you do not have the added cost of replacing the imaging unit at 17,000 pages, and don’t have to agonize about keeping corona wires clean. We hope that we have addressed your concerns.
