6/22 Anyone have experience with the HP 2550L color laser printer? It's on
sale @ CostCo for $360, and I'm considering it. The criticisms I've
seen are that: 1) it's loud, and 2) it has no proper paper tray. I can
live with both of those problems.
\_ What are you intending to do with your color? Color laser
printers don't print true color, they dither, so if you're looking
to print photographs or other detailed images, the quality will
be better on a good inkjet. If you're just printing bar graphs
the color laser is OK. -tom
\_ Inkjets dither too. They do tricks with the inks these days,
but they're still dithering. Dye sublimation are the only
ones that don't.
\_ I'm not planning on photos. I do my digital photos at CostCo.
Yes, it's for the color drawings, etc. I use color lasers at
work. I'm just not familiar with this model.
\_ We have one here. There is an optional tray you can purchase.
I haven't noticed this one being loud, but I don't think it's
in heavy use yet. It seems to do an OK job. --scotsman
\_ Okay thanks. The amazon reviews mentioned the optional
tray but that it was kind of expensive. My old inkjet is
dying and I'd really like to have a laser. |
