VALUPOINT: Friends Don't Let Friends Pay Retail.

Crazy About Color

The world has gone mad. Mad about color I guess. A color laser printer for UNDER $300! What are they thinking? When I first got my current Xerox Tektronix color thermal printer (uses solid ink sticks) it went for $2,800, and that's just a couple of years ago.

And get this, if you order online, there's a promo on the front page of OfficeDepot.com that offers a free Color Inkjet printer for purchases over $250, which this qualifies for!

It's networkable and is pretty fast. The only downside is that it doesn't duplex (print doubled sided). I'd actually think about investing a little more to get a duplexing machine, but this price break is a sign of things to come I guess in this market. Bring on the color!

For example, here's a better color laser printer that does double-sided duplex printing from HP. It's only $100 more, so this is the one I'd probably go for. The same promos still apply -- free shipping, free color inkjet printer to go with your shiny new color laser:

  • Rats! The Lexmark printer above (1st one) is now back to full price as of 12/13/06 -- it is now $629!!!

    You could have had it for $299!!!! That could have been a savings of $330!!!!

    The Samsung Color Laser for $200 is a great deal too...get it while it lasts!
