Looking for a laser printer less than $100.
Your experiences? And also any idea on what good prices are for your recommendations?
Thanks.
Didn't sign up for that deal till now (can't believe i didn't!)
Thanks for that. Will likely miss out on that deal as it expires tomorrow, but looks like i can get something within that price range with that discount. Question is what…
Bear in mind that model doesn't do duplex, and no ADF for the scanner, so it's pretty limited.
Do yourself a favour, pay a bit more for one of the Brother models that has the features you want, not just the price.
Too true, mate
What do you think of this: https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/brother-hl-l2340-mono-laser-p…
Doesn't have a scanner, but would sacrifice that if this is decent.
Personally, I'd be looking at something along the lines of the MFC-L2700 series…that ticks all of your boxes for upwards of $150.
I went for the 2740 @ ~$220 some time back, duplex scanning as well as printing were important to me.
Check Staticice & ebay, with the CHOICE20 code still working you might snag a bargain from Futu et al. :)
Good luck for that money mate
Will not be getting that huge list of features if you are paying peanuts
looking at 200+ for those features at LEAST
Unless he's buying 2nd hand from gumtree. I'm having a sensible chuckle thinking he could find a full refill for $20-$30.
I used to get a full set of fuji xerox colour toner for my C225 for 40 bucks delivered
it is doable but you gotta find the right machine
That's offset toner right? If you're buying genuine toner, it'll cost more than that.
Compatible
Funny story though that machine was a replacement to my free gumtree pickup that had a wierd issue with the belt dropping colours in and out
ended up being a bad contact of the ITB unit, fixed it and away it went
Fuji sent me the upgraded CM225fw free of charge as a warranty job
$40 for a full set of high yield compatible toner did the job perfectly for me and tbh never saw a difference in print quality or drum / dev wear using it
Thanks for all of the comments, much appreciated.
I'm assuming that it is not an OEM toner is it? I've only seen toners costing > $100 on average, so will assume it is.
We have lowered our expectations and removed the scanner from being a must have.
So now it is just duplex printing and monochrome.
Your thoughts on that?
I was hoping to go with the suggestion of the $25 good guys credit, getting a few of those and then merging them to get something from them. In particular was looking at this: https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/brother-hl-l2340-mono-laser-p…
Thoughts?
For what its worth I can tell the difference between genuine toner and non genuine toner in my Brother MFC.
depends on the supplier
cheaper all in one units have crap toner transfer rollers
The brother compatible stuff I have used has been just as good if not better than OEM
Bought the Brother 2340 for $70 after $50 credit store credit was used at TGG. Can't fault the printer, works well and having wifi is really nice.
I have the same requirements as OP and am currently considering these:
Brother DCP-1510

Brother MFC-1810
http://cplonline.com.au/printers/laser-mono/brother-mfc-1810…
Brother MFC-L2700
https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/brother-mfc-l2700dw-mono-lase…
Are there others I can take a look at? Availability of Low-cost high yield toners is my primary consideration. If the price is significantly low, I can forego duplex. Scanner is still a must.
You might wanna up your budget a bit given your manifesto of features there bro…
