Time to buy a color lasar printer, Brands?

[sangdao]

I need to make many different labels in small quantities so I have decided to buy a color printer.

I have a small BW desktop HP 1012 that works like a charm. So I am considering theHP 2550 colr printer.

Any thoughts on this printer or other brands?

Reliablity and ease of use are important to me.

Low cost per page is a plus.

Thanks!

Might look into the Konica Minolta Magicolor 2300 series as well. Currently Staples.com is running a $150.00 rebate on it so you can get the network version for ~$450.00.

It has pretty much the same capabilities as the HP 2550 and the toner cartridges are a little lower in cost.
