Canon C5185 Printer Review

Though Canon is widely known for the finest cameras on the market and photo printers that can print lab-quality pictures in the privacy of the home, the Canon imageRUNNER C5185 is a multi-purpose device that was designed to handle the needs of an office environment. Not only does this machine offer various functions including copying, scanning, faxing and color laser printing, it features automatic duplex printing that will save users money by reducing paper costs.

The C5185 is massive measuring 35x24x33 inches and weighing nearly 310 pounds. It will need multiple people to be installed and a large space in the office will be needed to house it. The multiple paper trays consume even more space, but provide a built-in paper capacity of 1,200 sheets. Additional trays are available that will increase the maximum paper capacity to 5,000 sheets. Another expandable feature is the memory, which 1 GB is provided upon purchase but that can be upgraded to 1.5 GB.

Because this is a color laser printer, four Canon C5185 toner cartridges will be needed to operate. The black printer toner has a page yield of 27,000 prints and is used mainly for black-and-white printing. The color imageRUNNER C5185 toner cartridges can each produce 36,000 prints. These toners are cyan, magenta and yellow. Using either the black or color Canon C5185 toner, as many as 51 pages per minute can be produced.

When replacement imageRUNNER C5185 toner is needed, it can be purchased directly from the manufacturer or from third party vendors online. Using the Canon C5185 toner, this machine has the ability to deliver prints with a maximum resolution of 1200x1200 dpi when printing and 600x600 dpi when copying. Overall, the C5185 is a power house of an all-in-one unit that will improve productivity in any large office.
