HI I'm a newbie to this group so sorry if this question has been asked
a million times before but....
I'm in the market for my first colour A4 laser printer, I'm looking at
something costing around the £200 mark.
I don't need to print A4 size photographs but it will be used for
printing business reports containing smaller photographs, pictures and
images for illustrative purposes.
Duty will probably be around 500 pages per month.
I will need to hook this up to the network.
Three that I have noted are the Canon LBP 5200 with a resolution of
9600 dpi x 600 dpi, the Brother HL-2700CN at 2400 X 600 and the OKI
C3200 at 1200dpi x 600 dpi
Could anyone explain to me how the printer resolution works? is the
Canon that much better or is the 9600 in some way an extrapolated
resolution - is the 2400 of the Brother the same or what?
If I were to rate them now based upon what I have read I would probably
go with the OKI then the Brother and finally the Canon. The thing that
worries me most is the resolution and also, how the cost per print
compares and the cost of the consumables.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as would any suggestions of
alternative machines.
Thanks,
Kev
