HP has had some trouble getting products out the door. The good news for you is that now you are less likely to overpay for a brand name. Yes, HP builds good products, but with Xerox, Lexmark and Kyocera becoming more aggressive, it is actually a blessing in disguise that you have to consider something else. Consider the example I worked on this morning of a customer who was going to purchase a P3005 and now they are looking at a Kyocera monochrome printer instead.

You can actually buy the Kyocera printers almost twice with the money you’d save on toner for the HP!! Worst case scenario here is you would save $1,500 and print at a much faster speed. This is why I am arguing this is a blessing in disguise! Call us for any printer or copier need in the Denver/Front Range area!
