Color your work with a low-cost laser printer | | ||
 Elsa Wenzel, associate editor | A decade ago, a color workgroup printer was a luxury reserved for an office swimming in cash. It wasn't until about a year ago that color laser printers began to drop below $1,000, and now you can get one for a $500 pittance. If a rinky-dink inkjet won't do the trick for your office and you need a machine to punch color into text, charts, and graphics, check out these affordable color lasers.
We liked the great image output of the Dell 3100cn, although it may be too bulky for a home, and it won't work with Macs. The Samsung CLP-510N updates the popular CLP-500 series with a deep price drop. You can add these models to a network. The Konica Minolta Magicolor 2430DL introduces a PictBridge port so that realtors, insurers, and others can document their work from the field. Its sibling, the Windows-only 2400W costs $100 less and lacks the PictBridge port. | |||

| Review summary | The Magicolor 2430DL is a fine machine for anyone whose text-printing needs trump their color-printing demands. | This honking-big, networkable color laser printer produces fantastic color output and speedy clear text. | Despite its less-than-perfect text quality, we consider this to be one of the best all-around deals for an affordable color laser. | A fast and versatile network-ready color laser printer, the Brother HL-2700CN offers much for small businesses. |
