Rated 25 pages per minute,
1200-by-1200-dpi maximum resolution,
Legal-size paper, maximum,
251 pages input, 150 output,
15.5 by 13.9 by 9.8 inches; 27 pounds,
Street price when ranked: $199 (8/27/04)
Bottom Line: Model was slow to print--especially when generating the first page. Its graphics output was the best we've seen, though, and an optional 550-sheet second paper tray is a bargain at only $100.

Bottom Line: This Windows-only model economizes by relying on your PC's processor for image processing. Its text output impressed, but its graphics output was too dark and exhibited banding.

Legal-size paper, maximum,
700 pages input, 500 output,
18.3 by 15.9 by 16.6 inches; 45 pounds,
Street price when ranked: $925 (8/27/04)
Bottom Line: The fastest printer on the chart for graphics and the second-fastest for text, the Oki B6300n produced precise text output, but banding and moiré interference patterns tarnished its grayscale graphics.

Legal-size paper, maximum,
600 pages input, 250 output,
15.7 by 16.7 by 12.2 inches; 46 pounds,
Street price when ranked: $650 (8/27/04)
Bottom Line: The HL-6050DN's print speeds were comparatively sluggish, but its sharp, dark text looked great. No PostScript printing, but this model is otherwise a good deal for a laser printer with duplexing.

Street price when ranked: $1200 (8/27/04)
Bottom Line: This unit was a breeze to install on our network, and its relatively zippy print speeds for both text and graphics should satisfy most workgroups. Print quality was mediocre, however, lacking the detail we expected.

Bottom Line: Nicely priced for a dual-sided printer, this model yielded consistently good print quality on text and graphics. Its speeds, however, are the slowest here, and installation on our network was a pain.

Bottom Line: The versatile 4250n provides fast performance and lots of upgrade options. But we saw dithering dot patterns on graphics output, as well as some blotchiness, ghosting, and bleeding on text.
