Xerox Phaser 7300/DN Network Color Laser Printer with Duplexer

Rating:
Summary: Overpriced, under-performing
Review: The positives for this printer:
Multiple prints are lightning-fast.
Black and white text prints or line drawings are beautiful.

The negatives:
-Noisy, and heating element is smelly.
-Frequent long, slow warmup periods.
-Terrible color-management & color matching.
-Terrible software settings frequently overridden by panel default settings.
-Awful color image resolution for photos even at highest settings w/ Xerox supplied papers.
-Terrible customer service.
-DON'T belive economical 'consumables' data - this burns it's very expensive toner much faster than advertised, on even simple prints. This is EXPENSIVE to own.
-At 8x the price, NOT laser quality - this is an LED printer.
-NO WHERE NEAR inkjet quality for photos.
-Frustrating to operate. If you're prone to yelling at badly designed inanimate objects, you'll chew the ears off of this printer.
-Lacks color management features and plug-ins that come standard even on the lowest of low-end cosumer printers.

BOTTOM LINE:
-If you want black-and-white speed, get a good laser printer with a fair amount of memory in it - it will be a lot cheaper and every bit as good.
-If you want color quality, get a good $500 Photo inkjet (Epson or Canon). This printer is an embarrasment w/color, especially photos.
