Excellent Printer
Thanks for this excellent article Dave - helped me greatly in making my decision on which printer I should go for.
Got the Phaser 6280 from Printware last week and I am very pleased with my purchase.

Speedster For a Printer
This Xerox 6280 is really a speedster for a printer. Users of this kind of printer can save more if they use compatible xerox toner as replacement for the initial toner.

Comparing to A-Listed Dell 3130cn
Reading specs, Dell 3130cn is similar to 6280. But comparing price they are definitely not anymore! I don't know actual UK prices, but this month if I had to buy the dell 3130cn, I would have to pay 586€ (inc. tax), whereas I paid only 322€ for the Xerox 6280V-DN from a web discounter (*** including duplexing unit!! ***)
