I had 2 options for a machine a need your advise wheather witch one could be better for me:

Ricoh Aficio 650

Hello, the Aficio 650 is old machine but it is very good, the parties are similar to the new, but if you modernizarte to 1060/75 - 2060/75 and 6500/7500 MP would be better as some parts are expensive in relation to how cheap it is the machine. To start this well but I recommend that you update soon. and with respect to the Toshiba do not know. regards

stay away from toshiba!

ricoh mp 7500 is a good mashine if well serviced, or if possible try to purchase a canon ir 7xxx series, they are nearly undestroyable.
but keep always in mind, that these mashines needs a responsible maintenance
do a service contract
