From: udenva!hao!pag@lbl-csam.arpa (Peter Gross) We have a couple of Imagen 8/300 laser printers and have been going through close to 5000 pages per week per machine. Currently our only soure of replacement toner/drum cartridges for the LBP-CX engine is through the local Imagen distributor at 100 bucks a crack. Since the LBP-CX is being used in lots of products, we figure that good old marketplace dynamics should turn up a source for the cartridges at a much better price, especially in quantity. So anyone with information of good sources for LBP-CX cartridges, please speak up! --peter gross hao!pag@SEISMO.ARPA ARPA hao!pag UUCP

From: Robert Morris <udenva!lbl-csam!ram%vax2.uucp%umass-boston.csnet@csnet-relay.arpa> At 5000 pages per week you are gonna have bigger problems than spending money on cartridges. My impression is that the CX is designed for a duty cycle of about 3000 copies per MONTH with about 100,000 copies expected life. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but in any case the CX is not a high throughput machine. Rumors abound of Imagen and others introducing higher duty cycle machines in the very near future. Meanwhile, the best that can be said for beating up on a CX is that you will need to replace it about when new machines become available.... --bob morris

Yep, that's what the specs say: duty cycle of 100 pages per *day* (or 12.5 minutes per day!) >From where I stand, the *only* good thing about the HP LaserJet is that if you need more than one to cover your needs, you can generally *afford* more than one! ---- -Paul S.
