Printing market

Hello my friends. Looking to buy a printer and I am one of the TOSHIBA 6530 and RICOH MPC 7500. Primarily interested in printing business cards, flyers etc. (small quantity), not plain copies, in different papers, mainly Velvet and some specific. Apart from the theory would like personal experiences about the problems in printing process, the cost per page around and about any important comments you from your experience. Thanks

 

My experience. I print lots of stuff. Mainly some small-amount newspapers, business cards, diplomas, posters.
For me it takes up to 30-40% coverage of Black and ~15% coverage of colors. I own Konica Minolta C452, it prints on up to 350gsm paper (maybe it could be even thicker if the paper, itself, is easy to bend (not hard, softer).
