Group Test While any of these six printers can turn out a decent business page, with sharp black text and vibrant colour graphics, some definitely have more to offer than others and two stand out.

The Reviews...

Lexmark’s C540N [13] is a capable small workgroup printer at a distinctly home printer price, and is a bargain if you want a device with excellent speed and some expandability. No question, this printer warrants a Reg Hardware Recommended award.

If money is tight, though, the Xerox Phaser 6125 [14] offers reasonable speed, good print quality and some of the lowest running costs seen here. It’s networkable as standard and comes out as £135 very well spent. These factors combined make it the clear winner, and it's Reg Hardware's Editor's Choice Colour Laser Printer. ®
