In a slightly earlier post to this thread, someone said that a Xerox color laser printer was low cost. So I looked: yes, there are one or two models under or in the vicinity of $200, but _not_ any that can do duplex! Unless you don't care how much paper you waste, you really need duplex for keeping useful information for your own use at home. In business, the extra cost is just a business expense-tax deductible even--but an extra $200 my not be justifiable for the home user. I actually own three printers--one real old and slow, and an old but quite adequate HP LaserJet and a fairly recent Epson All-in-One inker. All would do duplex, altho the real old one has forgotten how. But that's for emergency use only. The Epson does really good color--I don't know if any low or even medium cost duplex-capable laser can be expected to do that. (Altho if I have to replace it, I'll find out!)
There's the Brother HL-3170CDW Colour Laser Printer at Amazon.ca for C$230, That's US$190 today. http://www.amazon.ca/Brother-HL-3170CDW-Colour-Laser-Printer/dp/B00BQU141C Yes my Brother bias is showing. Tell me, you have 3 printers. What is their accumulated cost? I gather only the Epson does colour and the others are B&W mainstays. What's the operating cost of the Epson?
