Need to find good color laser printer

[valgary]

Hello everyone
I need you guys suggestion to choose a good color laser printer price over $3,000. It sounds pretty wierd, but price has to be over $3,000(It is someting related to the capital merchandise matching police from my company.) After some research, I decide not to go with thermal inkjet. Please share your experiences or opinions about this. Thanks.

I'd suggest the Lexmark C720DN. It's the automatically duplexing version of the network ready C720N.

Rated at 24ppm black and white 6ppm color (not the fastest color, but if you look at the real-world speed data numbers, it's actually one of the faster ones). 2400x1200 dpi. Rated Excellent, Excellet text and color printing.

Thanks for great info. However, It is still under $3,000. It has to go over $3,000 as I mentioned from my post I think I can add lots of mem to make it over $3,000 though. Any opinion about HP product?

You're thinking of the C720N. The C720DN is easily over $3k, as you specified.

The problem with HP color lasers is the quality. You get reasonably good reliability, and they're pretty much an industry standard (so lots of support). However, quality isn't nearly as good as this one (speaking from the 4XXX series and the 8xxx series, both).
