Need a reliable office printer for business checks...

January 26, 2018 3:26 PM

Currently we have been using a Canon MF8050CN for our business check printing. It uses the large toner black and color cartridges. It has become obsolete, we need to replace it with a new printer that meets all these specifications:

Able to print high number of business checks (A/P and Payroll) with sufficient ink cartridge size.
Black and Color option
Scanner
Compatible with Windows 10

We probably print about 200 checks a week to give you an idea how much this will be used.

I have been warned off of HP, have been told Brother and Canon are good selections. Thank you for any suggestions.

What is your budget? Once you get into the business-class Brother printers, reliability and quality increases significantly; the Brother 9xxx-series I've used several places and they work very well -- the 9340 with duplex is really nice, the 9130 is probably the most basic version but still meets your needs.

Definitely stay away from HP's low-end laser printers, models that are less than $1000 - they cost too much in consumables, for example - toner cartridges that can't be refilled/refurbished by anyone other than HP.

Many people have recommended Brother to me in the last couple years, so.
