15 Best Laser Printers

One of the cheapest laser printers among the best models. The low price is due to the fact that the manufacturer is Chinese and does not charge a premium for the brand. Case materials are simpler than those of famous competitors, but this does not affect the functionality and stability of work. The print speed is excellent for home or small office use at 20 pages per minute. The print quality is excellent - this is confirmed by hundreds of reviews from owners who have decided to purchase this printer.

Users have to wait a long time for the first page to print - the device warms up slowly. The sound during operation is quite loud.Cartridges can be refilled and non-original ones can be used. If you need an inexpensive laser option with cheap consumables, the Pantum P2207 is the best solution.

Despite its outward appearance, the HP LaserJet P2035 laser printer is one of the most popular in the line of inexpensive models from Hewlett Packard, designed specifically for use in small offices. Since color printing is rare and unpopular in such conditions, HP did not include it in the list of already impressive characteristics. LaserJet P2035 is capable of printing up to 25,000 pages per month, which is enough for an office loaded with paperwork. Unfortunately, the maximum quality of black-and-white printing is limited to a resolution of 600x600 dpi - this is not critical, but in some cases clarity will not be enough. The first print out time is 8 seconds after the file is fed to the printer, which is a standard indicator for models of this level.

But the key characteristic that influenced the location of the HP LaserJet P2035 in the ranking was the high power consumption. In standby mode, this printer consumes 7 watts of power, which converts into a decent amount at the end of the working month.

The second place in the ranking is Xerox Phaser 3020BI. This printer has the best print yield - up to 15,000 pages per month. In addition, it uses LED printing technology, which provides high resolution (1200x1200) and good performance - up to 20 pages per minute. The standard paper tray holds 151 sheets and the output limit is 100 sheets.The cartridge has a good resource of 1500 pages, it can be refilled.

Among the strengths of the device in the reviews, users note good build quality, reliable Wi-Fi signal reception and low noise during operation. At the same time, the printer weighs only 4 kg, which is the smallest in the class. Pairing with a print source can be done via USB 2.0 or via Wi-Fi. To simplify the setting of parameters, an LCD display is provided. The model works with all types of paper, including cards and films (except for photos and disks). The device is fully compatible with all popular operating systems. Disadvantages - expensive consumables and long warm-up.

The first place in the ranking of laser printers for the home is occupied by the Brother HL-L2340DWR. This model, unlike competitors in the TOP, is able to print on both sides at once. This feature is more common in more expensive models. At the same time, the printer works with a high resolution of 2400x600. The first print comes out 8.5 seconds after starting. The feed tray can hold up to 251 sheets, so you don't have to reload paper as often. In addition, the device prints on cards, films and labels.

In positive feedback about the model, buyers talk about the low cost of printing, small size and ease of operation. The cartridge yield is 1200 pages, that is, approximately 2.5 standard reams of paper, after which it will need to be recharged. For ease of use, the printer is equipped with Wi-Fi, can also be connected to a computer via USB 2.0 interface.A small LCD display shows the current operating status of the device. The disadvantages of this printer include poor case materials and a small volume of the starter cartridge - only 700 pages.

The printer turned out to be compact and looks nice, despite the ascetic appearance. The low price makes it very attractive to buy, especially in a small or medium office. Inside there is a cartridge with a resource of 1000 sheets. In general, it does not differ from its predecessors, only the drum gear is slightly changed. Its small weight and dimensions are one of the main advantages. And it is thanks to them that the printer is often bought for the home.

By holding the start button for a few seconds, you will start the process of printing the technical configuration. It is best to use an original drum unit rather than a compatible one to avoid backgrounds when printing. There is no fixation when installing the cartridge and this is a distinctive feature of the new generation.

The third place in the rating is occupied by a serious ECOSYS P2040dn printer from Kyocera, which is extremely balanced in all characteristic aspects. As is the case with many other laser printers, the main emphasis in this model is on maximizing the quality of black and white printing, so the output of documents in color is out of the question.The maximum number of printed pages is limited to 50 thousand per month, and the print speed is 40 pages per minute, which, if used in mid-level offices, is a good indicator.

According to user reviews, the main advantage of the Kyocera ECOSYS P2040dn is its short warm-up time. While other devices take about 30-40 seconds to start working, this printer starts printing after 15, and the first print out time does not exceed 6.4 seconds. There are components for compatibility with Windows, iOS, MacOS and Linux platforms, as well as support for the ArtPrint function. The disadvantages are the lack of the ability to connect via Wi-Fi, as well as the excessive bulkiness of the device.

Model of 2017, which is positioned as a functional solution for the average office. There is color printing, and the printer prints a colorful text document as quickly as a black and white one. For ease of operation, a 5-inch screen is provided - quite large. Unfortunately, the model does not support wireless communication, so you cannot send documents for printing from a smartphone.

The reviews praise the low cost of the print. If you use a high-capacity cartridge, then even color printing comes out cheap. The quality is good - the image obtained on paper is juicy and saturated in color, clear and without distortion. The interface is not always clear to beginners, but you can figure it out in a couple of hours. There are no serious shortcomings, but technical breakdowns happen. For example, the motor may fail after one and a half to two years of active operation.

The well-deserved leader in the category of laser printers for medium-sized offices is the OKI C612dn model, which almost completely adopted the technical part from the no less enchanting 610th model. As with its predecessor, this printer uses an improved version of LED printing technology. This aspect significantly reduces the cost of the device while maintaining the same print quality.

The entire operational part stands out as the main advantage of the OKI C612dn printer: in addition to the fact that the technology provides for the presence of four cartridges in the design (and, accordingly, the ability to print documents in color), the printer resource is of tremendous importance at 75,000 copies per month, and the print speed is 36 and 34 pages per minute for black and white and color output sheets. In general, there is nothing more to focus on here - the Japanese did a good job of eliminating the “jambs” of the old version, but did not invent an unnecessarily “eternal” model, leaving a mediocre working resource to the printer components. Fortunately, the replacement of such consumables is not too expensive.

At first glance, an expensive printer from KYOCERA has increased performance and resource. The toner cartridge has a resource of 15,000 units, and the developer and photoconductor unit has 500,000 units. The device produces 45 pages per minute in black and white with a resolution of 1200 dots per 1 inch. It is possible to carry out two-sided printing and connect the "N-up" mode.

Of the unusual, printing in A6 format using the internal paper cassette is noted. Continuous printing is ensured by a 500-sheet output tray. An alphanumeric keypad with a comfortable touch and response is responsible for secure printing. An insignificant drawback can be considered the presence of only 1 USB port for flash drives. The mass of the device is 20 kg. Thus, we have a classic representative of laser printers with black and white printing, which is distinguished by high reliability and service life.

One of the few non-professional laser printers that can print on A3. The model is designed for a heavy load and is suitable for not only medium-sized, but also large offices. The speed of work is amazingly high - in a minute the device can produce up to 41 pages of A4 format. The device is quite expensive, but the price is justified by the support of A3 printing and a heavy load - the printer can process up to 100 thousand pages per month.

Can work over a network. There's duplex printing, large paper trays, and high-capacity 17,500-page cartridges, all of which make for the ultimate laser printer. There are disadvantages, but they are specific: for example, when printing on labels with an adhesive base, the material regularly gets stuck.If you use the device for professional purposes under heavy load, the high voltage board may fail.

The HP Color LaserJet Professional CP5225dn (CE712A) Productivity Printer is ranked #1 in the Best A3 Laser Printers for the Medium Office. This is quite expensive, but a multifunctional device. The resource per month is 75,000 pages, which is a worthy indicator for such a format. Laser printing technology ensures maximum quality in any mode of operation. A distinctive feature of this particular printer is the possibility of duplex printing. The first print comes out in 17 seconds, and the average speed is about 20 pages per minute.

The advantages of this model in the reviews of buyers include high print quality, a large volume of cartridges and good reliability. The device works with any type of paper, including prints on films. This allows the printer to be used to create small advertising banners. The connection to the media can be carried out either via USB 2.0 or via an Ethernet cable. An informative LCD display will inform you about the current mode of the printer. The weaknesses of the model are difficult setup and low print resolution.

A black-and-white laser printer-hard worker for the office - this is how this model can be characterized. It is capable of printing 280,000 pages per month at a speed of 62 pages per minute.Such a colossus requires a long warm-up time, which is 29 seconds. The paper feed for the standard tray is 600 units, and for the extended tray it is 6 times larger. A nice feature is support for mobile printing from smartphones and tablets

The resource of the cartridge cannot be called large - only 11,000 units of the resource can be considered extremely modest. Additional interfaces include RJ-45 Ethernet and USB 2.0 for flash drives. In standby mode, it consumes 19 watts, and during operation 1650 watts, while accompanying the workflow with a background noise of 71 dB. It performs well under high loads in large offices with large volumes of printouts.

The list of advantages of this model has many aspects. Buyers in most cases leave only positive feedback. Sufficiently compact dimensions and a weight of 7.5 kg provide the possibility of mobile movement of the device when moving or redevelopment of office space. You can print via Wi-Fi, which reduces the number of wires required to operate the printer. Power consumption in deep sleep mode is less than 0.5W. During operation, it makes almost no noise and has a so-called "quiet mode".

The web interface is simple and informative, there are few basic settings, and the firmware is updated with a couple of button presses. Software for work must be downloaded from the official website of the manufacturer, and for Mac OS systems, a download link is immediately available at startup. There is no USB cable included. The downside is the cost of replacing and buying a photoconductor, which costs almost as much as the printer itself.

The HP LaserJet Enterprise M609dn is a true pro when working with large volumes of documents. The purchase of this printer is justified only if its use is provided for in the formal offices of a high level of workflow - otherwise there is a big risk of buying an expensive "shelf" for waste paper. The fact is that this printer can only work with paper up to A4, and only in black and white printing.

Among the important technical characteristics of the LaserJet Enterprise M609dn are a large allowed print volume per month (up to 300,000 copies), high print speed (71 pages per minute without waiting for warm-up) and an excellent cartridge yield of 11,000 pages. In addition, we should highlight the full compatibility of the printer with all running versions of operating systems, as well as the lack (which does not suit some users) of the ability to connect via Wi-Fi.

One of the most affordable laser printers with a capacity of up to 100,000 pages per month. It costs several times cheaper than competitors from the USA, but there are no special differences in print quality and breadth of functionality. Samsung quietly works with non-original budget cartridges, prints quickly, is endowed with duplex and is easy to set up. The first printout also does not have to wait long - after 6.5 seconds it will be in the tray.

The printer can also print text on labels and films, but reviews say that it can jam non-standard materials. Management is simple, but there may be software glitches due to which the machine prints strange characters. This problem is rare and not all users experience it. If you need to equip your workgroup with a network printer for an inexpensive price, this Samsung will be the best solution for your money.
