The mechanical design is so good most can achieve 1,000,000 impressions (less for personal lasers, of course). I still have LaserWriters made in 1984 which are still operational. The Canon toner cassette system is foolproof, and refills are widely available. Brother is second in my book on the score of consumables, mainly because the OPC drum is a separate component. But, a positive for Brother is its extended range cassettes. Both of my production lasers are Brothers which use the 550/580 toner cassette, refurbs of which are widely available for as little as $19.99. My LaserWriters remain available for the few times when I need absolute PostScript compatibility. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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.
