"Use 2 in a campus computer lab"
Pros: Our students only pay .10/page to print color, however expect smudging and streaking. So we do a lot of refunds. It is fast but so what if the prints are crap.
Cons: After a while the colors on a print smear and streak as being printed. It as if teh toner cannot get on the page at the rate it is travaling through the printer.

Cons: Constant calibrating is obviously not taken into account when figuring speed of color prints. About every 30 pages or so it'll take 30-60 seconds to calibrate - causing the actual speed to be SLOW
