[QUOTE="SmallOfficeUser, post: 199570, member: 3542"] We need to buy a printer that will actually be used mostly as a copier, offline. We were looking at the all-in-one printers, both laser and inkjet. Production needed would be about 450 pages/month. All black and white is fine so a laser seems economical but they're so heavy! (Weight is an issue -- we want something we can pull out of a closet to use once/week). But the main question is, we're getting the idea that while a printer may say it has 18 pages per minute... that is measured when printing from a computer. When it's used as a stand-alone copier, the start up time and speed/page may become unacceptable! When we need it, we can't afford the time to sit around waiting on a turtle. How do we determine whether we'll get the performance and speed from a printer when it's used as a copier instead of printing from a computer? Or is anyone using a printer in this manner? Any advice? Thanks very much! p.s. Other constraints: We need to stay under the $200 U.S. range, and that would preferably include around 4000 copies worth of ink or toner over the space of a year. And that's the lifetime we need to plan for. [/QUOTE]
