I'm considering buying this printer for my real estate office, is it durable enough for regular heavy use (~1500 pages per month)?

I don't think you'll have an issue at that volume. We have a few of these and I think they get at least that much usage each month, and haven't had any problems. The only thing we've ever had to do was replace toner cartridges.

It looks like it should be able to handle that very easily. I was shocked at how fast it prints.

We have HP OfficeJet 6500 which has been a workhorse with no issues. It cost about $150. Good luck.

My wife has printed several birthday cards (about 12) on 65 pound card stock with no problems. I recently bought 110 pound card stock, but I haven't tried it out yet. The printer works better then my old B&W HP 4 Laser that I had for 15 years until I couldn't get working toner cartridges, even from HP. I've also printed out a couple sheets of labels, no problem. Be careful, some labels are not to be used with COLOR laserjets. As a 24 years, self employed software engineer, with a LOT of printer experience, I can tell you this is a really nice printer. Ready to print in a reasonable amount of time, prints fast, good color (NOT photo quality, decent for all but the expert graphics users). Wireless setup is fast and easy. Wired setup via a router is also easy. I would buy again, if I needed one. Answers are based on about 3 months ownership experience.

I think that mostly depends on wheter you print alot or not. i do average printing - 20 sheets a week and the ink toner has lasted about 7 months on average

It's worth the investment if you know you will be printing in high volumes or on a weekly basis. Also if you decide to purchase it, seriously consider refillable ink cartridges and/or high yield ink, that and the printer will pay for itself.

Absolutely!!! The best printer I have had after other HP types. No problem with ink. Cartridge life is as good as it gets. A prudent user would always have a spare set of ink on hand. This has been my practice for many, many years. I have had no pauses in printing. Not unusual for me to print 50 to 100 pages, double sided without any pauses. Just watch the price. Various retailers can have great prices. I got my last 6700 at less than $100. I am on my second one. Bought the second because of good results and high reliability with the first. I do a lot of photos, also with no problems.

We use our printer a lot. The XL's have lasted over 7 months, approx. 8 months.

I can't give u an exact page count, but I use this printer everyday at work and it last me about 6 months

I don't keep such close tabs on the average page output that I could give an accurate count, but I am definitely happy with how long the ink does last compared to my previous Epson printers I had been using since 1995. This HP Officejet Pro 8100 is by far the best printer I've owned, especially for its long lasting ink, which makes the high price much easier to pay knowing it's a once or twice a year investment. I make a habit of using the draft setting for most of my non-presentation printing and I think that really adds a lot to the life of the ink cartridges. It appears to me that the page count HP gives for the ink is accurate.

I don't print huge amounts per day, some days a couple of pages, others a few dozens, mosty web pages or word documents. I bought this last year and the only one I had to replace was the black, about 1 month ago. It complained about it for maybe 1 1/2 month but I just took it out and shook it and put it back in until it really was empty. Compaired to ink, toner is 1000% less expensive. As for the colors, it recently started to complain about the yellow, but I suspect it will last many more months. So far I only used the cartridge that come with the printer, except for the black I just started. I'm pretty sure to save money they don't fill those to their fullest, so I would say a cartridge is at least good for 2,500 pages of text. If all you print are pictures, it won't be as many, but it will be a lot more than with an ink printer. The only reason someone might prefer an ink printer is if the picture will be placed against plastic. Toner has a tendency to unstick from the paper and stick to the plastic. It has always done that BTW, not just with this printer. In my case, I gave my ink printers away to Goodwill. They cost me more in ink than the printers themselves. Which is why when I saw this color toner printer at that price, I grabbed it. Plus it's a multi-function. It does copies so good that I had to put a mark on the back of the original to recognize it from the copy. The document feeder works well, and you can use it to feed the copier, not just the fax. I did not scan much with it, but it scanned well. It does scan to OCR, but none of them do a great job, particularly when there are some very small fonts. But what is does is still better than having to type the whole thing.

We have been using our printer now for almost 3 months. We have not had any paper jams or similar problems. So far we have been very impressed with our printer.

This printer has sat for weeks at a time in my home office while I have been away. We have had no problems with ink drying out or any other issues.

Hi Lucia, I bought this printer a couple of months ago to use for my home business and college work. It was easy to set up and I haven't had any problems with it. I print a lot of color labels and they come out great. The haven't used the scan feature yet or the fax but am going to be setting that up shortly. I am pretty happy with it.

I do quite a bit of large print printing; I would say that they lasted me close to a year. I use my printer for only personal, not professional printing.
