Canon LBP5700 Printer Review

The Canon imageCLASS LBP5700 is a compact color laser printer designed to handle the needs of a personal user or micro office. As a result it has a compact design that won't take up a lot of space, but it is also somewhat limited in features and capacity. One of its most appealing aspects is that Canon LBP5700 printer toner supplies are quite affordable, especially for a color model.

Personal users will be especially glad for the machine's small frame, as it can be used on a desk surface quite comfortably. It measures 26.9x23.3x25.3 inches, though it weighs a rather heavy 123 pounds, so users will probably need some help when setting it up for the first time, though this does include the weight of the imageCLASS LBP5700 toner supplies.

The input paper capacity consists of a main tray that can hold up to 500 sheets, and a 100-sheet multipurpose tray. The multipurpose tray is particularly convenient, as users can print on envelopes, labels, and other alternative media without having to empty the main tray. Users can also augment the paper capacity with an optional 500-sheet tray, bringing the total capacity to a maximum of 1,100 sheets. This should be more than enough for the average small office, in fact.

The laser printing system uses four individual Canon LBP5700 toner cartridges, consisting of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. The three color imageCLASS LBP5700 toner cartridge are rated for an average yield of 12,000 pages, while the black supply can output slightly more, at around 13,000 pages. For the best price on replacement toners, users may want to consider remanufactured Canon LBP5700 toner instead of OEM versions, as they are available at a fraction of the cost.

For medium-sized offices and larger, the Canon LBP5700 won't have enough speed or capacity to handle the workload. For small offices or even personal users, however, it is a great fit, and the low cost of supplies will make it a good value for years to come.
