Lexmark C530 Toner Cartridges

Lexmark C530 Printer Review

Buyers all have different needs, but anyone would agree that saving money is a good thing. The Lexmark C530 color laser printer not only has a low upfront price, but it includes automatic duplexing to save on paper costs, and Lexmark C530 toner helps to save on printer toner costs with its affordable prices as well.

Designed for the small or medium networked office, the C530 has a built-in ethernet port. It can handle a fair number of users too, as it has a robust 375 MHz processor and 128 MB of RAM right out of the box. The memory can also be upgraded to a maximum of 640 MB for those who need it, and the machine uses inexpensive DDR memory which is easy to find in stores.

The design of the machine makes a fairly small footprint, but its heavy weight and tall height might be too much for very small office spaces. It measures 19.1 inches by 17.3 inches by 20.2 inches (HWD) and weighs a hefty 57.1 pounds. The control panel and LCD screen are on the front of the unit, requiring users to place it at a certain height to be easily readable.

Print speed is around 22 pages per minute for color and 24 pages per minute for black. The 1200 dpi printing resolution has a 4800 dpi enhanced resolution for excellent laser print quality in any mode.

Replacing toners is quick and simple using the front access panel. Lexmark C530 toner cartridges are some of the most affordable in its class. High-yield Lexmark C530 toner cartridges are available, and give a very low cost per page. Users can also opt to use third-party compatible Lexmark C530 toner for even more savings.

For the networked office, the Lexmark C530 offers a great mix of solid performance and low operating costs that makes it an excellent value.
