  Looking for a new printer for my home studio.
  Wanting to get away from ink jet for home printing and get a decent Laser Printer but affordable for home. Any suggestions ?

  Dell 3100cn Color Laser Printer;
  HP Color LaserJet 2550L;
  Konica Minolta Magicolor 2300

  i look for network native/ cmyk / duplex printing. i've had all three and liked them. the HP is my favorite out of the group since it lasted the longest. these modles are kind of old now but my HP is still kicking prints out.

  How accurate is the color on that HP?

  I have a Brother HL2170W. Pages come out curled, but it was super cheap, and is reliable. I have it connected to wifi, which is nice. The feature I like most is that it has a one-button interface that seems to work well. For example, if I go upstairs to grab my prints and I've run out of paper, I simply put paper in and hit the button. No need to go back to my laptop to resume printing, nice and easy.

  The print quality is good for invoices, airline tickets, etc. Not useable for proofing work.

  @gramme
  short answer: its fine for everyday printing.

  long answer : most HP printers interprets CMYK data according to the Standard Web Offset Press (SWOP). swop standard defines how a particular set of CMYK ink colors should behave by RGB interpolation but they also accept CMYK color value using the Adobe PostScript printer driver. my printer (LaserJet 2550L) performs a SWOP color map and internal half tones to emulate a SWOP CMYK press. although like mentioned many printers use the PostScript output along with the color values. so accuracy depends on inkwell/paper/ and source file. but most of the time my color accuracy depends on my pantone calibration which i reset every few months or so.
