For a proper office backroom, however, the Kyocera P2040dw is the winner for its much lower running costs and industrial-grade build.

What Owners Are Saying?

Lexmark C3326dw

Retail_Rick ★★★★☆

"Compact color laser that fits under the counter. Very secure and the print quality is sharp. Proper kit."

Kyocera ECOSYS P2040dw

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."
