  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Customer Service is very friendly, low up front cost.

  Weaknesses: Too many parts that need changed. Parts breakdown very quickly. No warning that parts need changed, it's a guessing game that is very expensive.

  Overall Evaluation: I have owned several laser printers and this one is by far the most unreliable. I've had the best luck with xerox and brother printers, I purchase this one because it was on sale and had the features I wanted - if only I knew how fragile and unstable the printer was, I would not have taken it for free.

  Duration of ownership:

  Strengths: Speed and color quality

  Weaknesses: Life of the printer is very short. We are running multiple 3500s and one just burned out after running only 15,000 copies! Another burned out after only 34,000 copies!

  Overall Evaluation: Life cycle of this printer is very poor. Supplies do not last the expected life printed in the owners manual. The 3500s we are using also tend to jam. The paper tray is very sensitive to any paper dust.
