Based on purchase price alone, the Brother HL-1050 and Minolta PagePro 8L have the highest VFM scores. The former does well thanks to its excellent quality, performance and features scores, while the PagePro 8L has the lowest purchase price. In the second graph, the differential between the HL-1050 and PagePro 8L increases, because the extra cost of ownership diminishes the effect of the PagePro's lower purchase price. The Fujitsu PrintPartner 10V pulls up a little, the lowest VFM score now going to the Tally T9006. This chart shows our assessment of the relative value for money for each of the products in this review.
Longer bars represent better value for money.
Products are sorted by price, with the highest price at the top. Where products have the same price, they are shown in alphabetical order. The resulting raw VFM scores are then made relative to the lowest-scoring product. To use the graph, first see which products fall within your chosen price range, by looking at the column of prices on the right. The best value product within that range is then the one with the longest bar.
