Chapter in this post:

Mittlerweile haben wir ja Zeiten erreicht, in denen man nicht auf gut Glück testen musste, ob ein Drucker am Mac läuft oder nicht. Es gibt zum einen viele Hersteller, die ihre Geräte direkt mit dem Aufdruck „Mac kompatibel“ bewerben oder man weiß bei einigen Herstellern wie HP oder OKI, dass die Farblaser auch am Mac unter OS X bzw. macOS laufen. Trotzdem neige ich immer dazu, Laserdrucker zu kaufen, die explizit irgendwo als mac-kompatibel hervorgehoben wurden.
Color lasers for different purposes
Most people will want a color laser printer that they can use in their home or small office. This usually involves printing out a photo, a presentation, an invoice or an offer here and there. Large quantities will usually be less here. For this reason, the purchase price is just as important as the operating costs, which are particularly high due to the toner and exposure unit.
Color laser for the Mac in the test
Um etwas mehr zu bieten als eine „Top 10 Liste der besten Farblaserdrucker für den Mac“, möchte ich hier einige Laserdrucker vorstellen, die ich in dem einen oder anderen Test schon unter den Besten finden konnte. Zu jedem Drucker möchte noch ein bisschen Infos geben, die ich auf anderen Webseiten gelesen habe. Ich denke, damit kann man eher entscheiden, welcher Drucker am besten zum eigenen Einsatzzweck paßt.
The best Mac color lasers with rating and comment
Here is the list of the [color laser printer-> color laser printer] that I have shortlisted. The order does not mean anything, because it is arbitrary and all the printers that are mentioned here have done very well in any case - either in a test or in the customer rating on Amazon.
The Lexmark color laser can be used with the WLAN module Marketnet N8352 make network-compatible. This means that it can also be conveniently controlled from iOS devices.
I was also able to read positive things about the Lexmark C540n in terms of print quality, but unfortunately everyone on Amazon agrees that the toner is used up faster than stated. In addition, the follow-up costs make it extremely expensive. For this reason, the device only made it to be mentioned, but not really made it to be recommended by me.
The prices that I mention here for toners and printers were researched by me today (June 17.6.2013th, XNUMX). So it may well happen that these are actually significantly different. This should always be taken into account when evaluating a printer.

Very interesting report I will probably opt for the HP LaserJet Pro 200, until now always had HP printers and have always done well with it! I like the site I will probably stop by here more often :-)!
The Epson AcuLaser C9300N is currently also available for around 1.400 euros, but nowhere can I find a test from the point of view of a creative person.
Ja, leider konnte ich auch keinen „privaten“ Testbericht finden. Nur Pseudo-Test-Portale, die letztendlich aber keine echten Testberichte haben. Sehr schade.
Unfortunately, after a long research here and on the net, I have not found anything regarding my problem.
I bought an HP ColorLaserjet M254dw. Now I have bought 200g of photo paper to test the results as a photo print.
When it comes to the print quality setting, I cannot move the slider to optimal quality. The controller always jumps back to normal. No matter what type of paper I choose (e.g. Glossy). The toner levels are all around 70%.
Does anyone have any idea why this could be?
Hello Uwe! Sorry, I have no idea. :(
