I'm going to be taking over a micro-business soon which will require that I print about 600 twenty page newsletters a month. Would you recommend this?

It will do the job. I will be worried about the per page print cost at that volume. Local professional printers may be able to do it at a cheaper price.

I am a printer and it will cost you $1357 for doing 600 newsletters in full color on nice glossy 80lb paper at http://www.printpapa.com/eshop/pc/20-Page-Booklet-8-5x11-186p1444.htm. If you do the math it comes to 11 cents a page in full color with paper versus 25 cents just for ink on this printer. Also for a 20 page booklet you will need a face trim for professional finish, which you cannot do it. Check us out or any local commercial printer.

well the ink cartridges full are rated to print approx. 6000 pages, refill from HP cost approx. $400, this printer is good for life time mild use, I do not see this printer for commercial large amount of use, not cost effective, got this printer local already loaded with full ink

No, the cost of the replacement cartridges is just to high for that kind of volume. it costs us about $500.00 to replace our toner and we get about 2000 color pages from each cartridge. The printer will print beautiful documents and photos, but the cost for that kind of volume will be to high for me at least.

I would outsource that, this printer could do the task, but it would probably cost more in toner then its worth.

Thanks for the responses. Can it print something as small as a 4 x 6 card? I'm shopping for a nonprofit school, and we do a lot of mailings. So smooth envelope feeding is essential. Do you know how many envelopes you can load at a time?

Actually the answer is no. You have to babysit the printer and feed every 1 to 3 cards after awhile. Very disappointing. I don't believe there is a good solution based on internet message boards.

This machine works well for 20# but needs adjustments fairly frequently. I suggest a more durable machine. We use it for worship bulletins & our monthly newsletter (~ 450 sheets of legal size)

I would think if your only printing 6.5x11 or smaller this would not be worth the investment. For non photo printing any good quality scanner should work. Also with 8 different ink tanks the cost of maintaining ink may be higher and unnecessary if not used for photos. That's my 2 cents.

Like any printer it depends on your usage. I've found that 'regular' printing has been very reasonable.High res photo printing on 'best' setting used more than my last printer but the result was worth it.All in all I recommend getting the printer.

Yeah, I was buying ink every month just to print less than 20 pages per month. I finally junked it and bought a HP Office Jet Pro 8600 in June 2013. It's now 2015 and I have not yet replaced the original inks that came with printer. The good thing is you can print b/w when the color ink is out.

I have had many, many printers. As long as you use excellent quality paper and high on the bright quality, I would send it to the Pope! I have learned to read reviews very carefully since some folks just say things for reasons unknown. All my reviews on Amazon are the exact truth. I have had a lot of folks reply back and thank me and agreed with my review and points of interest within.

Yes, even after repeated warning I printed documents. However once the ink is gone the quality is really bad. You could probably go at least a couple of months if you don't print daily.

I would have to estimate, but I believe it probably got me through at least 500 to 800 pages. I didn't count. I bought it in July 2012, and just had to refill it again in July 2014. I probably print about 25 to 75 pages a month.

I use it for ONLY e-mail or text printing. It is a good printer, but I require a much better quality. We are photographers so I use our MP960 Canon which is a great printer. Anything bigger than 8X10 I use a local business or web printers such as Shutterfly, Vista Print etc.

Use lower print resolution in print setupand simpler fonts. But depending on Number of sheets printed monthly, seems like 6 months of toner life is very good

The paper feed is really good. However I suggest that if you are printing on cheaper 20lb copy paper you should fan the paper stack before placing it in the feed tray. Most paper feed problems are not the fault of the printer but rather the fault of the paper - such as the leading feed edge becoming wavy (for want of a better word....) from humidity. We have many Brother printers and they all perform flawlessly. We use isopropyl alcohol to clean the input feed/roller/s every 2-3months by swabbing it with a clean cloth. Don't use a cotton bud or any paper towels as they can leave small fibers on the corona wires, fuse rollers etc. Hope this helps.M The paper feed is really good.

I have used this product every day for the past year. The price is excellent. I print heavy text amounts. I used four laser printer compatible cartridges in the past eleven months and 20 reams of paper during the same time period. I would say the estimate for 2000 pages is pretty accurate. (I do have another printer for color documents I occasionally need which accounts for some of the paper usage.)

The m1319mfp printer is a an excellent printer, fax, copier for a small office. I just purchased a second one for a new location of our company. It is a little pricey at over (new) $600 but the high end of HP printers are more reliable then the low end. I would rather pay more and have less troubles. When I looked used (refurbed) they were around $200. I suggest buy a refurb that is guaranteed, use the catridges, and then hopefully use many more! (I assume that the one you have can't be repaired?? ) Good luck!

Yes. You can switch back and forth, depending on how you want each separate job to print.

Good morning. We use this printer for daily generic printing in the Golf course maintenance facility @ the Woods Hole Golf Club. We're not power users and super high quality output is not that high on our list.It's a good printer and the wireless is flawless. TF
