Canon LBP1620 Toner Cartridges

Canon LBP1620 Printer Review

The Canon LBP-1620 is a compact laser printer that supports media up to A3 in size, but is still small enough for desktop use. Its maximum output speed of 22 pages per minute is faster than the similar LBP-1610 model, but it offers many of the same features otherwise. The design of the Canon LBP-1620 printer toner supplies is also compatible with both models, which results in lower prices.

Personal users who don't do a lot of printing will be impressed by the unit's warm-up times. From standby, it requires virtually no warm-up time at all, and even when powered off, it can be warmed up in 9 seconds or less. This can mean a lot of energy savings.

Paper handling is a bit light, but is also versatile. The unit supports media types such as recycled paper, labels, envelopes, postcards, and transparencies. The main input paper tray can hold up to 250 sheets at a time, and a bypass tray is equipped for up to 100 sheets. Users can add configurations of 250-sheet or 500-sheet additional trays, up to a maximum of 1,100 sheets. This takes it from a personal device to a serious small office machine.

Each Canon LBP-1620 toner cartridge can output a yield of 10,000 pages, though OEM prices are a bit high. Users can shop for compatible Canon LBP-1620 toner from third-party sellers for much better prices, however, and since the large yield of Canon LBP-1620 toner cartridges keeps the cost per page low, they will be saving on every print.

Even with upgrade options available, the Canon LBP-1620 will still likely appeal to individuals and very small offices most. Those who need higher output volumes should probably consider models with larger capacities already included, as they will generally cost less than this model with upgrades.
