“The day will no doubt come when monochrome lasers go the way of mono inkjets (yes, Virginia, early inkjets were all strictly mono). But it hasn’t happened yet. Until it does, monochrome lasers will be the workhorse printers of choice for any office of any size that prints only letters and other black-and-white documents. And for now, at least, there are plenty of printers to choose from.
Mono lasers suitable for a small office come in a range of sizes, prices, and speeds, with a variety of paper handling capabilities. For this roundup, we gathered a fairly wide assortment. Some are small enough to share a desk with, while others are desktop printers in name only—meaning that they’ll fit on a desk, but they won’t leave much room for anything else. Prices range from well under $200 to more than $1,000 if you add enough paper handling options. And engine speeds range from 23 pages per minute (ppm) up to 45 ppm.”
