1. HP Office Pro K8600 - Ink Jet
Xerox Phaser 6125
HP Color Laser Jet CP6015dn
2. I have instant messaged both Xerox and HP and the only maintenance is changing the ink cartridges and the drum if its the Laser Jet.
3. See Print out.
4. All the costs below include the cost of the printer
5. Advantages for the Office Pro K8600 is the cost and the quality of the prints. When you look at the cost on an annual basis is the lowest. Disadvantages are that it only has one paper tray which and the monthly max is a bit under the 8,000. Therefore the longevity may not be there and is not network capable. The HP Color Laserjet CP6015dn has the longevity (with a monthly duty cycle of 175,000) therefore the a great buy. Faster machine than the other two and the most memory. The annual cost is just over $1,000 over the Office Pro, but is laser quality for only pennies a copy more. Network capable. Disadvantages upfront cost is high as it retails for just under $4200. The Xerox Office Phaser 6125 is a laser printer with great quality. Its upfront cost is low and the only maintenance is changing the toner. It is network compatible and has a mid range of 40,000 maximum pages per month. Disadvantage is that it is the most expensive on an annual basis.
6. I recommend the HP Color LaserJet CP6015dn. Its an expensive upfront cost, but you will not be replacing the unit every year because it can handle the large amount of prints. There is low maintenance and its well worth the extra $1000 for the time it will save on the speed of the copies as well as the quality (laser vs ink jet). Honestly, if you look at the annual costs against the upfront costs there is no reason not to get the quality of the better printer with more possibilties
