HP Color LaserJet 1600 - Printer - colour - laser - A4 - 600 dpi x 600 dpi - up to 8 ppm (mono) / up to 8 ppm (colour) - capacity: 250 sheets - USB
$332 online less $200 Cashback
Its a online only price so not sure if you can get in stores.
Next cheapest I think is Officeworks who go it in their catalouge for $359
yes, the $200 cash back is direct from HP but doubt you can find price before cash back lower than $332…..or can you ?
Maybe what you can do get the HT price to Harvey Norman or others and ask them to Beat the price (not only matching it).
:) Well no harm to give it a try …
Note the 1600 only comes with half-full 1000 page toner cartridges. (See "What's in the box" at the end of this datasheet http://h20195.www2.hp.com/PDF/c00817768.pdf)
You may want to consider the 2600n which has full 2000 page toner cartridges and a network connection (http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/au/en/sm/WF06a/1090037-109009…). It is from around $415 online minus $200 cashback.
1000-page HP Color LaserJet cyan, magenta, yellow, and black print cartridges (approximate page yield based on 5% coverage)
LOL! 5% coverage?
they might as well say 5000 pages on 1% coverage ahahahaha
just a note to all thinking of buying this printer.
this printer has 4 toners, each toner costs about $90 on static ice search. 4x$90=$360 to replace the toners. So if your planning to print colour you're looking at less than 1000 pages which equals to about 36 cents a page. Compare that to my new B8330 inkjet which only costs $50 to replace black n colour (800 page yield) you get 10 cents vs 36 cents per colour page.
so if you're an average user like me, I don't recommend you buy any laser printer as they cost a fortune to run.
How much coverage does a full page of text cover?
i'd say 10% at least
and if u add an image prob 15-20%
Personally I have been purchasing Fuji Xerox colour lasers over the past 3 years. My parents now have a C525A since July 2006 (now superseded by C1110 but only at $445, 16 ppm black and 12 ppm colour — a tad slow on the mono printing as the C525A is rated at 25ppm). Toners were 4000 and 2000 pages (mono/colour).
I personally (and a travel agent I work for) has C2100 which came with a bonus duplexer at $676 + delivery (offer no longer available). The toner cartridges are rated at 4000 and I think, 3000 pages.
Despite the higher price tag I've only had to replace the C525A black cartridge twice with some heavy duty printing. The draft mode on all FX printers are excellent — most of the time you don't need the crisp blacks as you may be printing a transaction record or something that doesn't need the high quality mono prints. Prior to "switching" to Fuji Xerox, I had an Epson EPL-6200L which worked well but the draft mode was horrific — it was hardly visible!
By the way, to upgrade the C2100 from 128 to 640MB RAM to use Secure Print & Sample Print, is a simple act of purchasing a 512MB PC2-5300 DDR2 SODIMM (laptop) for $20 from msy.com.au and installing that rather than the expensive ($300+) 512MB module from FX itself.
So perhaps look for Fuji Xerox doing some cashback promotion soon — I've seen already twice, $200 cashback, free duplexer, etc etc. I think at the moment if you get a C2100 there is a bonus C204A (networked mono) included at www.citysoftware.com.au.
5% coverage is standard for quoting toner life.
10% coverage for text is not realistic. There is alot of whitespace on a printout of pure text. 5% is more realistic.
Great deal, but can it be from any other retailer that stocks this printer. ie. Can I take the receipt from another store and send it into HP?
