[QUOTE="pastrykunal, post: 248141, member: 2547"] when you do buy any printer, first evaluate what is the volume of pages you will be printing per month. every printer comes with a monthly duty cycle. One of our office printers has a monthly duty cycle of less than 1000 pages. this one is out of order very often. Invest in a colour laser. at around 20K its worth it. cost per page is less than a rupee for b&w. You say you want to print books. Then remember that if you exceed the duty cycle, many printer companies like HP void the warranty, the first time you exceed this. For 20K in the case of HP you get a nice 10000 page duty cycle, ADF for the scanner and 600 dpi colour. In most cheap printers even the paper tray wont hold more than 200 pages!!! Also in an MFP can you scan and print at the same time? If not then during the time you have a long scan job, you may have to wait for a long time before you get to print anything. If you only print in colour occasionaly, then it may be worth getting a separate inkjet, and a nice b/w mfp (laser) for about 12K. Depending on your use, you may even like to get a separate scanner and just a laser. [/QUOTE]
