In need of DUPLEX printer - any suggestions?

[craftymacgirl]

Hi folks. I have been really happy with a Brother 5140 in the office and a 2140 at home. But because I have to print 4000 double sided fliers each month, having to manually do duplex printing is a PITA. I need DUPLEX printing!

What I need:

Mac-friendly
Duplex printing
Black & White Printing ONLY- toner saver mode
at least 21ppm
I do NOT need mult-fuction fax but if it copies that is fine too.

Under $500

There is a lot out there, hence why I am asking you.
Should I stick with Brother?

I don't think you'll find what you want for less than $500. I've had good luck with Xerox, you should check them out.

Brother's stuff is pretty good, and price is cheap.

I know a few people using them for Macs, including one with duplex printing.

Have a look at the HP PSC 2610/2710 series

I have been using a Brother HL 1850 and am very, very happy with it.
Their tech support when I need it ( very rarely) is great.

I would stick with Brother.

Make sure you research the cost of toner and maintenance supplies, and get a good warranty on the printer. I imagine you'll spend at least twice the cost of the printer just in toner each year.
