Frugal_Pro
"The 100,000-page ceramic drum is the winner here. It’s the most sustainable and frugal mono laser on the market. I haven't had to do any maintenance in two years of heavy use. If you care about TCO and the environment, this is a masterpiece. Proper sorted."

Jack
"Fast and reliable. A bit of a faff to set up the drivers on older versions of Windows, but once it's on the network, it’s a rock. Absolute unit."
