Most companies with IT no longer bother with laser printers, they'll use |
15 |
large print centres (like copiers) which have a low cost-per-page (black |
16 |
and white can be under 1c/page.) We have retired most of our laser printers. |

We still have a backup laser printer... from memory it's a Kyocera |
19 |
P5021cdw (we got them on sale for a bit over $500 CAD) - but this is the |
20 |
only printer I've come across that has a cost per page comparable to a |
21 |
copier/large print station. It's a bit more expensive per page, but |
22 |
compared to HP for example it was almost half the cost to run. |

Unfortunately I don't remember the numbers... |
