I previously had a MagicColor 2400W and used it for about a year - it had great color and resolution, but the color cartridges came will little toner and my attempt to use a third party refill (to keep the cost down) basically destroyed it by dispersing ink everywhere in the unit.
As a replacement, I looked again and saw good reviews for the HP 2600 series, including the 4000 copy initial toner load and improved toner empty management software. I've been particularly impressed with the 2605's duplex printing that uses a neat trick that kept the cost down. Other good impressions are: it's significantly quieter than the MagicColor with its one-pass 4 color printing (no faster, but quiet); it only recalibrates when necessary, and very quietly at that; absolutely no jams with a variety of media; very good color resolution, but I wouldn't use it for a photo printer; standby mode is very low power so I leave it on all the time, giving a relatively fast printout whenever I'm ready; and ultimately the reliability over the past 2 months and more than 1000 pages has sold me on HP getting its act together and becoming the leader in laser printers again.

Header: 4 DOA Printers In A Row!!
Reviewed By: Neil Goodell

I've been very happy with the HP printers I've owned during the past 15 years, both LaserJet and laserjet models. Until now.
Printer #1 showed gray streaks and magenta spots on the page in addition to blurry non-black text. HP sent me a set of new toner cartridges; this fixed the streaking and spotting but didn't help the cartridge alignment problem (what HP calls CPR or Color Plane Registration).
Printers #2 and #3 were badly misaligned. Look at the right-angle lines on the configuration page. Non-primary toner colors are created by laying down dot patterns in varying densities to create say green (yellow plus cyan toner). If they are not aligned correctly, the green line is bordered on one side by yellow and the other by cyan, resulting in blurry text and images. Look at these lines with a magnifying glass or do a 600dpi scan (the printer's printing resolution) of these lines to see what I mean. I sent numerous scan samples to HP tech support and there was never a question that the printer was defective.
Printer #4, at long last, was aligned properly. Unfortunately the page had gray streaks, broken text, and dark images had white spots (where there was no toner).
HP offered to send me a 5th printer. But I've given up. Four-in-a-row DOA printers over the course of two months, to me means this is a poorly designed, fragile product. HP is sending me a refund check.
And if you read through the HP support forums you'll discover that I'm far from alone. I think the entire 26xx color LaserJet family has some fundamental design problems.
