CNET editors' buying advice

We have not reviewed this product but here is CNET's buying advice on Laser Printers. This content was chosen based on the features included with this model of laser printer.

Corporate cog

If you need a workhorse that can keep up with your small business or team within a larger organization, a workgroup laser printer is an obvious choice. Designed to juggle multiple print jobs, these systems have faster processors, more memory, and print engines that are capable of churning out more than 20 pages per minute. But these $400-and-up printers are more than souped-up personal lasers; they offer workgroup features, such as network printing, high-capacity toner cartridges, and larger paper input and output trays.

Description: The Ricoh Aficio CL3500N is a 22 ppm, color laser printer.Compared to other color lasers on the market, it is relatively inexpensive at around $560.This unit prints at 1200dpi.

Pros: This printer supports color at a resolution of 1200 dpi x 1200 dpi.Equipped with an network connection, the Ricoh Aficio CL3500N can act as a standalone print-server.At 630 sheets, without optional media trays, the Ricoh Aficio CL3500N can handle more printouts without refilling than would many comparable printers.The printer?s 533 MHz processor allows the printer to transform a complex document into its printed form faster, speeding up printing.
