if you're the kind of person that mostly prints out text documents instead of graphics while a simple black laser printer can be a great partner for a small office in the home or used as a shared device with coworkers I'm Justin for CNET this is a first look at the canon imageclass LBP 1 v 1 DW printer so single function lasers are pretty cheap and they're usually easy to maintain plus the toner lasts a lot longer than ink which can be a great value when it comes to refills but unfortunately this is not one of those printers let's start with the basics though like most printers this one's not much talked about in terms of design probably because it's meant to disappear in an office environment what is kind of cool about this printer though is that the paper tray is easy to adjust and use for a bunch of different types and sizes and it's got a built-in auto duplexer that tries to save you some money by automatically printing on both sides of a single sheet the problem here though is with the toner cost now this is a common trick where printer manufacturers price the hardware cheap and charge a premium for ink and toner knowing that you'll be coming back for more I did a math for you and canons toner costs three and a half cents per page which is a decent price for inkjet printers but most lasers cost less than two cents per page now canon even takes the price gouging a step further and disables air print support for this model of course if you want the ability to print directly from your Apple iOS device you can buy the more expensive model but instead of doing that you can find a bunch of other laser printers in my for review on CNET that won't get greedy with your money and that's where you should go for recommendations so that's going to do it for this video you just refer at the canon imageclass lb p1 v 1 DW printer thanks for watching
