Its about a $550 printer and well worth the extra couple hundred over other options.


Hmmm. From Dabs UK, the 2420D would be a £458 printer, and the 2430DTN is £730.

That's a little more than I was willing to spend. It's just for personal use, so would one of the HP 1000-series printers be in the same class, reliability and value-wise (but not necessarily feature and throughput-wise, obviously)?

One other thing that occurs: if I wanted to print on the occasional piece of card, which printer has a straight-through paper-path, and can cope with the extra thickness?

Dabs has got the 1022N for £175, or the 1160 for £186, for example.
