Best Home Laser Printer?

[jihanemo]

1. Best brand of laser printers?

2. Can you recommend a particular brand and model that works really well and lasts long? (preferrably one that is currently under $150)

3. Can a laser printer handle sheets of labels? I often print on Avery labels but I'm worried that the sheet may get jammed inside the printer since it's a little thick.

4. Are there any other components I still need to buy after I buy a new printer? Such a a drum? Toner? Cartridge? Or are they already included?

Jihanemo,

1. If you are looking at laser, then all the name brand manufactures will make an ok unit.
2. At under $150 you are not going to get the best equipment - you'll get what you pay for. Also, if you plan on printing more than 100 pages a month, I would recommend spending a couple extra $$ if you can for 2 reasons. Low end product is crap regardless of manufacture and the low end products have a high cost per copy which is going to cost you more money in the long run. Again it all boils down to monthly print count. If you are only printing 50 pages a month, then buy low.
3. Laser can print on labels, but I recommend that you stick with a name brand like avery and that you purchase "laser" labels, not inkjet. Be aware that if a label comes off inside a laser printer the adhesive will ruin internal parts cause a print image defect.
4. All name brand printers some ready to print. The only thing you may need to purchase is a USB cable.

Good luck - Ryan
