""Running costs are good, too." - have you go rocks in your head?"

Pros:
It would make a good boat anchor

Cons:
IT would be a expensive boat anchor
The machine has been reviewed hear on this website as "Running costs are good, too." brother has it one their website "And to keep your running cost low, this printer also features high capacity replacement toner cartridges." and pigs might fly this printer burns money.

Doing just 1,000 prints per month with out the capital cost of the machine will cost you around $7290.00 over 36 months or $0.2025 per page. This is way to hight.

If you are doing around 1,000 print per month the Kyocera FS-5300dn will cost you only $4,566.00 a saving of almost over $3,000.00 (the $4,566.00 include the $1,600 capital outlay)

2,000 a month;
Brother HL-4040 $13,770.00
Kyocera Fs-5300DN $8,388.76
4,000 a month
Brother HL-4040 $27,540.00
Kyocera Fs-5400DN $13,375.00


so in short if you buy this machine you have rocks in your head or too much money

I will put the full details of the costing on our our website www.fxa.net.au

"Picture is wrong. Model is 2nd choice"

Pros:
HL-4040CN is a good printer

Cons:
No Duplexing.
The picture is not a HL-4040CN and is significantly misleading (looks more like a Brother MFC-7840W). The current A-List Printer is not shown. Get it right guys - this is a big drop in editorial standard.

Review Score 5 out of 6

The HP Officejet Pro 8500 is one of the best office inkjet alternatives for under $350. Being feature packed, small businesses may be tempted to try this over the latest expensive laser printer.

Although the basics of this router are somewhat low spec (no 802.11n or Gigabit Ethernet), the extras do make it interesting.

Sumptuous design, a fantastic screen and a high-quality feel. Not as easy to use as an iPhone, but far more powerful
