Panasonic WORKiO DP-CL21 Toner Cartridges

Panasonic DP-CL21 Printer Review

Small and midsized offices at times don't have a very large budget to purchase all the finest things their office could need. For those users, there are machines on the market that don't cost an arm and a leg and are easy and affordable to maintain too. The Panasonic WORKiO DP-CL21 may not be the most advanced or high tech printer on the market, but it offers color laser printing for an inexpensive price. It also offers decent speeds and a monthly duty cycle of up to 100,000 pages.

Color printing and black-and-white printing are both offered, thanks to the four Panasonic DP-CL21 toner cartridges used in conjunction with this unit. These toners included black, cyan, magenta and yellow, and each printer toner lasts around 5,000 pages before expiring and needing replaced.

When printing with the color WORKiO DP-CL21 toner, up to 17 pages per minute are possible. If printing in monochrome, though, you have the ability to print 21 pages per minute. The first page out time is 13.5 seconds either way. Resolutions using the Panasonic DP-CL21 toner can reach as high as 1200x1200 dpi. The Panasonic DP-CL21 toner looks great on bond paper, cardstock paper, coated paper, envelopes, labels and recycled paper. The largest size of paper that can be printed on is 8.5x11 inches, which means most sizes that offices need are supported.

Connectivity is offered in three ways—ethernet, USB and parallel. Most modern offices should be able to easily comply with this. Memory comes standard at 128 MB of memory, but that can be upgraded to 512 MB upon purchase. This laser printer offers networking, and it is compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems. Its WORKiO DP-CL21 toner cartridges are very affordable and easy to find. Overall, you can find better machines out there easily, but you probably won't find one that is a better value.
