Top 3 Laser Printers under Rs. 6,000

A lot of people still have this weird misconception about laser printers being expensive. These days the monochrome laser printers turn out a lot cheaper than their inkjet counterparts, and they are definitely a lot faster and arguably better. Many of the laser printers recover from paper-jams with much lesser fuss than the inkjet counterparts.

Of course, it would be ridiculous to consider a monochrome laser printer if you're more into photo printing, or for any kind of requirement that requires you to print in colors; you'll be better off with inkjets in that case, but if you've been using your desktop inkjet for office document printing, maybe it's time you considered a change.

Monochrome laser printers these days are cheap, can print high volumes a lot faster than any other alternative, and the noiseless functionality is obviously a plus point. So if you've been throwing away time and money on using inkjets for document printing, maybe you should consider these alternatives that will definitely help improve your productivity.

HP LaserJet 1018

Here's a nice option from the guys at HP. It's decently small at 15x10x8 inches, and can be easily placed as a desktop solution, which is actually the best place for it. With a 600x600dpi output at speeds of 12 pages per minute, this one's better suited for your home desktop needs rather than an office environment.

3000 pages per toner run may not be as high as the other printers in this feature, but its not too bad either. Still, at a price of Rs. 5990, the HP Laserjet 1018 is the weakest contender in this segment. In fact you may want to check out the next printer available at the exact same price.
