What is the best large format (13 "wide) laser printer for under $ 300?

... If there is one? I am looking a laser printer because they feel fast and I need to quickly print for the work I do. I need more time to work on my records than wasting inkjet time through. (Unless there is a fast inkjet printer that does not lose quality?) I cam across this printer: http://www.jr.com/epson/pe/EPS_WF1100/ Is one God? .... I saw that the laser printer are generally thousands of dollars. Is it even possible to get a large format printer color laser for under 500? Thank you in advance! Damn! I posted this link is actually an inkjet .. >: (

First off this is not a laser printer. This is a good inkjet color quality that will do the job and do it quickly, but at 17ppm Read the fine print, its inkjet claims (quality text laser). You might be able to get a monochrome (black and white) laser large format for under $ 500, but probably not a range format color laser this award. The question as well. If you buy a cheap laser printer you will regret it. These are very complicated machines and when they break (break them more expensive) They are expensive to repair. The thing about laser printers is if you buy good, your grandchildren may still be using it. My advice if you stick with HP Laser, Xerox or Canon. Stay away from Brother, Lexmark and Samsung, as they will cost you more over the life of supplies and his brother is crappy printers. Another note. Toner for laser printers seems to cost more than $ 50 to $ 100 a carton but they last much longer. Generally, you get thousands of impressions per cartridge so that the cost per copy is much lower than most inkjet printers. On other printers handheld laser have other wear parts (fuser, transfer rollers, feed rollers) that are designed to wear out and must be replaced periodically. A lot of things to consider, but after I learned the differences from the laser inkjet I jumped to a $ 900 printer for my home. I got it for 6 years and only replaced the toner once. I print Christmas cards, my church Sunday flyers, and a lot of fun stuff on it, and his armor. Mine is the Xerox Phaser 6250, but its size is not large. However, it is the test bullets.
