Pick this if...
- You run a small office of 5-15 people that needs occasional 11x17 or 12x18 color output (flyers, schematics, marketing one-pagers) without sending it to a print shop.
- You print 1,500-4,000 mixed mono/color pages a month and want one device that does print, copy, scan, and fax.
- You're keeping an existing Aficio MP C2000 alive on a service contract because the lease is paid off and toner is still cheap on the aftermarket.
- You need a workhorse A3 color MFP and you can find this used for under $500 — at that price the math works even with the older controller.
