Take a sample of what you need to print, as a PDF and GO to a store, ask if they can print your sample to check the quality of a printer you are interested in.

Just remember buying a “cheap” laser is not always a cheap solution, check costs of ALL consumables (Toners and drums if required, some also need a belt every so often) and look at their est life. Then guestimate the cost per page of use.

Now repeat process on a more expensive printer, running costs often enough lowewr to offset the extra purchase price after 1 or 2 replacements of consumables.
