I was in the Print Industry and one of the tops back in the day was Phaser (Xerox). I also liked QMS, which is owned by Konica Minolta now. I was looking at the Konica Minolta Magicolor series and the Oki's, I know those can print on standard glossy papers and you can color calibrate for WYSIWYG press output. But if you want just basic printing, HP's were very popular for basic office stuff.

I happen to like to Okidata color lasers. They have a low cost per page.

Will they produce good graphics printing? Maybe not photo's, mostly graphics. Also, the printer itself needs to cost no more than $600. Preferably lower.
Will the sub-$400 ones here be good? Or, would I have to go higher?

I have a Konica Minolta magicolor 2430DL.

Served me well so far, had it for about 9 months on the factory ink. Looks good on glossy, network as well. Takes regular RAM to upgrade.

Paid a little over $400 for it, well worth the price. IMO

So, Konica seems to be a good brand for the price. Any other suggestions?
