<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I'd like to suggest that the club upgrade its printer to an A3
colour printer, and I've found a few options around the $500-1000
price tag listed below.</p>
<p>Generally it seems that laser printers are the way to go,
although inkjet printers are much cheaper. Most if not all of the
options also include scanning functions (which would be useful to
have access to in UCC).</p>

<p>It seems that the price for printers goes up very rapidly (from
about $300-500) to about $3000-10000 when you start getting into
enterprise printers. Aside from the couple of buy-new options
above, it's possible that a secondhand printer would be better
value (provided it is in good condition).</p>
<p>Anyone who has thoughts on particular brands and regarding
availability of (affordable) compatible grey-market toner and
parts, please let me know.</p>
<p>Thanks,</p>
<p>Felix [FVP]<br>
