DC-Bottom-line
Unchallenged winner is the HP Color Laserjet 2700. Low cost of print, high print speed, and quality-built processing make this product the number one in this test. It sports the print-engine the HP Color Laserjet 3000 has, which got good marks in another DC-test. More on that on page 16.
If you are looking for a good looking printer, you will be in good hands with the Dell 1320c. You can upgrade it easily and at low cost and have a network printer. And cost of print is bearable for a color laser printer in this price segment.
If you need a fast printer, the Lexmark C530dn is to be considered. It connects to a network and comes with an automatic duplexer. It is the most expensive in this test.
Looking for the lowest price, you find the Samsung CLP-300 for 170 Euros. You trade this in for slow color and poor text printing.
Prints with 120 cm length necessitate the Oki C3300N.
