well, When it comes down to Printer, never settle for any other brands than HP. It's simply too good, reliable, fast and cost effective too. Let me suggest you to go for "HP Color LaserJet 1600 Printer series" (Indicative Price: Rs.17300). It's easy to create impressive colour documents with HP's lowest-priced colour laser printer. Achieve fast speeds of up to 8 ppm colour and black-and-white, and enjoy superior print quality with HP ColorSphere toner and HP Imageret 2400 technology.
Dell's Color Laser Printer 1320c offers surprisingly good color quality for a low acquisition price. Its toner is expensive, however, and its control panel is confusing.
Setting up the printer is very easy. The documentation (a printed setup poster and owner's manual, plus an HTML-based user guide) is thorough. The included CD offers an automated setup process, and live-action videos illustrate all the steps. Inserting the PHD (Print Head Device) unit is the one tricky part, as it's heavy and the handles are small. You also have to heft this thing over the transfer belt, which lies belly-up within the opened front cover. Though many color lasers have a similar design, they don't require you to maneuver something so heavy within this space. Dell says the transfer belt can handle a scratch or two and that you'll rarely, if ever, have to move the PHD unit.
The unusual toner-cartridge design is the other reason why Dell thinks you shouldn't worry too much about the transfer belt's welfare. Many printers force you to expose their innards to replace toner; with the Color Laser Printer 1320c, you simply open a side door and slide a cartridge into its keyed slot. The downside: The toner cartridges are rated for merely 1000 pages in the standard size or 2000 pages in the high-capacity size (per Dell's specs). Those small capacities translate into higher costs for both black and color pages--at best, 3 cents for a half-page of black text and 15 cents for a page with small amounts of black plus all three colors. Low-volume users may not notice for a while, but a busier office will feel the pinch pretty quickly.
2.HP Color LaserJet 2600n
(*Cost. $300)
HP color laser printers receive the most favorable reviews in the sub-$500 range. Since it has just 16MB of internal memory, it’s not a good choice for a busy office or for those who need to print large complex jobs. However, for a small office or home business, the HP Color LaserJet 2600n is a great value. Reviewers disagree about all aspects of performance and use, but most say the text quality of the HP 2600n is very good. Speed is below average and cost of use is higher, but those are normal disadvantages in this price range. Another plus is that the HP 2600n ships with full toner cartridges (instead of smaller "starter" cartridges), which is a rare bonus for a budget color laser printer
