Epson's B-500DN proves that a business inkjet printer can be a direct rival to a colour laser, at the same price point. Although the asking price of £350 seems high for an inkjet, this is offset by extremely low running costs and the fact that you will only have to attend to cartridge changes every 7,000 or 8,000 pages. Print quality is good, speed is acceptable and although the printer is noisy, it shows Epson's determination to establish a new commercial role for inkjet technology.
