1. I have a GREAT printer that was about $50 at Wal-Mart! It's called the Lexmark All-In-One-Printer X1270 The ink is cheap and prints, scans, faxes, and copies GREAT! Well idk about the FAX, I don't use that, but the rest is GREAT!
2. I don't think you will find anything for that price with your requirements unless you lease a commercial color printer from your local copier dealer. Especially for the 35k/mo volume you intend to do. Many commercial color printers on a lease includes toner for so much per click. I am in the copier/printer business and I don't feel you will find what your looking for unless you are willing to spend roughly $1,000 or a little more. Good luck in your search!
3. 35,000 copies a month? Colour? 10-30 ppm? For under $300.00? The HP 2600n is a great value and a solid workhorse but the consumables will eat you alive. If you're printing that much, you'll likely burn out most SOHO color printers in just a few months. Check eBay for a "Minolta CF-910". It's a commercial printer but it's good lookin', fast and produces great quality output. Toner is coming way down in price too. It uses bottled toner, so there's no need for cartridges. All you'll ever need to replace are drums, fusers and transfer belts. Read the PC Mag reviews and recommendations on color laser printers.
