Xerox unveils cheapest laser printer

The Hindu : National : Xerox unveils cheapest laser printer: "BANGALORE: Laser printers are for offices that need quality — and can afford to pay for it. Inkjets are for the rest of us, home personal computer users, on tight budgets. That has been the accepted wisdom for decades.

Xerox has just turned the logic upside down by unveiling the cheapest laser printer ever offered in India — at a price comparable to many budget inkjet printers.

The Phaser 3117 model costs Rs. 4,500 (exclusive of local taxes). Laser printers used to cost about Rs. 7,000-Rs. 10,000 for the simplest models, while inkjet prices have fallen to as low as Rs. 3,500 in recent months. However, for many lay users who have purchased a printer with their first PC, inkjets have turned out to be a costly proposition. They had to pay for the colour feature, even if they used the PC, mostly for printing letters and documents in black and white. The black ink cartridge ran out within weeks and at typically around Rs. 1,000 for a new 15 millilitre pack. The joke was, the ink was costlier than champagne!"
