Laser printers: part 2

Abstract

In the summary table on laser printers, the price shown is the manufacturer's list price. Competition among vendors of laser printers is now quite fierce and most of these machines are available from retailers at ‘street’ prices considerably lower than list. However, the street discount may be very different for different printers. For example, at the time this article was written, the NEC LC890, which lists for $4975 was advertised by a local retailer at $2849 (43% discount). The Panasonic KX P4450, which lists for $2595, was advertised at $1250 (52% discount). The Ricoh 6000/PS, which lists for $3499 was advertised at $2595 (26% discount). The HP LaserJet IIP, which lists at $1495 was advertised at $949 (37% discount).
