Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: Aren't any worth emphasizing

I bought the NEC 870 to replace my HP Laserjet Series II which finally conked out after 10 years of service. So maybe, my favorable view of the NEC is colored by the fact that I’m comparing it to a very old printer. On the other hand, we have lots of...

Pros: Great price for the quality, clear printing, many shades, user-friendly.
Cons: Size, not the best printer for professional jobs.

I bought this printer about 6 months ago and have never regretted it.

The NEC was purchased...

Cons: Mediocre graphics quality, a bit noisy

Pros: Fast printing, quiet when sleeping, Inexpensive, Easy to use, Very good quality printing
Cons: The noise when printing (very quiet when not)

Pros: Speed, price, resolution quality.
Cons: Noise

I have been a Mac OS loyalist for over ten years. But unfortunately the pervasiveness of the use of PC's in the professional realm forced me to purchase a PC for home.
