Need help picking out a new printer.

I was hoping some of you seasoned forum members might be able to point me in the right direction regarding a new printer purchase; specifically, I am looking for a reliable machine capable of handling a single toner cartridge capacity of over 3,000 pages.
Price isn't really a primary concern for me at this stage.
Also, if someone could clarify a technicality for me—what does it actually imply when a manufacturer specifies a "Maximum monthly duty cycle of up to 50,000 pages"?
🤷 🤷 🤷

Check out the Canon ImageClass Duty Cycle

Duty Cycle basically means how many toners it could theoretically chew through in a year if you hit that limit every month during the warranty period. Honestly, finding something that hits those numbers for under 10 $0.00
might be tough.

The duty cycle basically implies the machine can handle ten toner cartridges a month—for all twelve months of the warranty period, anyway. Though, honestly, finding a device that actually manages that for under 10$0.00
seems like a bit of a stretch.

Stop talking nonsense and quit trying to push those ancient, used printers on us just so you can offload your junk.

Wrong.

You can't find a single LJ 1300 anywhere these days. But if someone actually tracks one down, they've solved their problem just like most federal agencies have. They aren't exactly rushing to swap them out for modern replacements where maintenance costs are 100% higher.

It’s pretty obvious our friend here is pushing the more expensive route. So, go ahead and decide for yourselves who's actually talking nonsense.

Clear enough?
