Have owned 2430DL for over 1 year

I have been been very satisfied with this laser printer. I'm a REALTOR and have been the sole user of this printer for over a year in my home office. I've probably replaced the cartridges an average of; black once every 3 months and color once every 8 months. I haven't had to replace the drum yet. The primary reason I bought this printer is I try to send out a full color newsletter mailing quarterly to my list of about 450 contacts. I also prepare a number of full color marketing pieces to leave in the homes I list. The quality of the photos of the homes/interiors has been exceptional. I had one issue I contacted technical support about and it was resolved by simply cleaning the lens. As of May 13, 06 I had printed a total of 6413 color faces and 2637 BW faces; 9050 total. I did quite a bit of research before I bought and I would definitely buy this printer again.
