Color printer recommendation? - GoFuckYourself.com

GFY steered me right when I bought my new router

Need a new color laser printer.

I need something with crisp text and bright colors for printing out business communication i.e. more pie charts and graphs and fewer naked girls with blue mohawks. I have a fancy archival quality 6 ink printer for photo printing, but it is super slow and prints are approx a gajillion $ each. Basically, need an option which is more office-y and less artsy.

Suggestions?

Plotters are cool.

The problem with Dells they charge a shit load for ink

NEC 24 needle printers are good.

I like my HP Laserjet CP1025nw color laser printer.

I recommend not printing in color, shit gets expensive.

I've been hesitating to buy one myself but I think that the color LED printers are the way to go.

I'm leaning in that direction myself, but still a bit overwhelmed by the sheet amount of choice.

As far as brands go, I've narrowed it down to either Brother or HP. I've always supported HP products and never really had a problem with them. Although, I've heard that in the printer world, Brother is the way to go.

Looks like most of those reviews are from 2008 (and one set from 2012). I remember reading that mag in print, along with Computer Shopper, and fantasizing about all the equipment I would buy.
