In need of DUPLEX printer - any suggestions?

in General Discussion edited January 2014
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.

    If you're printing >8000 pages a month, the cost of the printer itself is almost negligible. 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.
