This is rebranded QMS. Not a bad color laser but be prepaired to pay more for the supplies than you pay for the printer. Also, it has the longest warmup time of any printer I've ever seen.

Nice! What was the shipping on the one you ordered?

I hate this printer (Branded as QMS). I bought one and we never use it now because it is too frustrating. If you try to use any paper thicker than 24#, be prepared for many paper jams. Also with each paper jam comes a 5 minute warmup. As far as supplies go, you have to buy toner and fuser oil fairly regularly. Also, we have printed under 10K copies and the fuser is starting to fail. The fuser costs $500+.

I paid about $2000 for this a couple of years ago. If you are patient, get the one with the hard drive and the extra memory. If I remember correctly, it takes standard non-parity SIMMs.

It is also very slow in color since the imaging belt has to make 4 passes through the different toner cartidges. It print black well though.

We have a Tektronics 840 and 850 (from freecolorprinters.com, thanks to Anandtech Forums) and they are great. The 840 has about 200K copies on it and not one single problem yet.

It is a nice printer, but be careful.

The Printer needs four toners each comes to $109.

If the refurb. comes without toners that actually bring the price to $1023.

If it does come with new toner and fuser oil, it's worth picking one up just for the consumables.
