Colour laser.
Used for documents with text & a number of medium sized photos per page
Automatic duplexing
Single pass to get a better colour print speed
Refillable toner cartridges
Reasonable price for my home office

I need to know if there is such a model and I will need
to see what the price is and ask myself the question -
can I (or do I wish to) afford it or do I carry on as at
present getting my colour work through a third party. I
am spending around £100 PM through a commercial company
printing out A4 two sides or A3 four sides with 2/3
photos on each side. Not really said the figure but I need to do some
comparables taking all factors into account.

I'm very satisfied with my HP CLJ_2605dn, although it does jam on duplex
printing sometimes, but that may be the config, not got to the bottom of
it yet.
I doubt you'll get any colour laser with refillable toner, they're not
like inkjets you know..!
Price-wise, the 2605dn is currently £299 from Staples, that's where I got
mine.

Ivor thanks for help.
You can get refills for your printer from
www.refilltoner.com
I have used them for years on my HP1300 (black only) and
they have always worked really well and a lot cheaper
than originals.

Hmm, I'm still not sure, the last thing I want to do with a brand new
printer is ruin it with refills,
the machine is still under warranty and
I've never been comfortable with the concept of non-original consumables
just to save a few quid.
False economy if it ruins the printer and I end
up having to replace it..!

Look at the Samsung CLP series, maybe the 600? They do have some single
pass
color laser printers. Sometimes you can find one on sale.
I have a CLP-550n which would meet your every requirement apart from the
fact that it is not a single pass machine. I haven't found that to be a
problem. The photographs that I have printed from it look excellent. I've
seen refilled toner cartridges available.

looking at as they have low running costs.
I'm not sure you are going to get too much in the way of A3 colour laser
with refillable cartridges.
I have here a Konica Bizhub c250 which also adds photocopying and
scanning, this is on a service and supplies contract. There is a c252p
which is the current version in printer only guise which may be worth
looking into. I think this will weigh in at just under £2,000 plus vat.
A quick play at itdatabases.com brought up an OKI machine with duplex for
£1456 plus VAT
Hi Timothy
Sorry may of confused only need A4 format as mostly have
two side A4 docs but sometimes four sided docs but which
can be printed as two A4 and stapled together. The A3
format printers do tend to be very expensive. I will look
at Konica more closely.

When I need to print 4 sided docs I print duplex in A5 booklet format on
A4 paper. Unless it's very small text it's usually readable..!
