Kyocera FS 4020DN Laser Printer

HP has had shortages on their laserjet line for months and the Kyocera FS4020DN has been a nice replacement for the HP Laserjet P4015 Laser Printer.  They have differences you may want to be aware of.  Here are some of the basic differences you should be aware of.

DRUM — Kyocera uses a ceramic drum, which tends to last a long time and makes the printers cost of ownership be a lot lower than HP.  However, if it is bad, you will want a technician to replace this componet (rated at 300,000 pages) instead of just changing the toner cartridge.

COST — The Kyocera is nearly 40% lower in price than the HP Laserjet series

DRIVERS — Everyone, and I mean everyone, supports HP printers, Kyocera can struggle in specialty applications.  you’ll want to test a Kyocera if you have specialty software.

We feel Kyocera has a compelling story, we just want to make sure you know the benefits and limitations before taking the plunge!
