Anyone care to share opinions on the relative merits of these two (affordable) color laser printers? The former is available at Buy.com for $200. The latter at Staples for $250.
The Kyocera seems to be too new for there to be any on-line reviews available. I already have a plain black laser printer, so color printing without the hassle of jets that clog after inactivity, and ink that runs in humidity, etc. is my main concern. This will be all home use. Maybe six-year-old whims, some decals for my projects, that kind of thing. The MacWorld review I found for the 6180 gave it a "good" rating on image quality. The Amazon reviews seem fairly happy about the image quality. It's difficult to rate their standards compared to mine though. The other big concern is consumables cost. Some folks say the Xerox consumables go more quickly than they should, but there are variables to account for in that too. Again, no consumer comments seem available on the Kyocera. The toner cartridges seem to cost about the same but Kyocera claims their carts yield 4000 pages at 5% and Xerox claims 2000 pages at 5%. I think that means that the Kyocera would be cheaper, but again, without any real world recommendations, how can you be sure? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
