Canon LBP5360 Printer Review

The Canon imageRUNNER LBP5360 is a color laser printer made for small to midlevel offices. Able to produce up to 22 pages every minute using the Canon LBP5360 toner, it is a little slower than many competing units on the market. However, it does offer quick first page out times of 10.1 seconds, whether using color or black printer toner. Usually the machine will take about 45 seconds to power on, which isn't bad but isn't the fastest on the market, either. Upon purchase, the unit comes with a standard memory of 128 MB of RAM; however, if more RAM is needed, upgrades are available up to 384 MB. An optional 20 GB of memory can also be added to the hard drive if needed.

To operate this machine, users will need four imageRUNNER LBP5360 toner cartridges. Each is filled with one color of printer toner—cyan, magenta, yellow or black. The black and color Canon LBP5360 toner cartridges have a page yield of 6,000 pages, so users shouldn't have to replace toners too terribly often. The cost per page for each is somewhat high compared to other similar products, but the quality they produce is worth the extra money.

Resolutions as high as 2400x600 dpi can be created when printing using Canon LBP5360 toner. These resolutions will not only look high quality, but they will be sharp and professional too. For those who need text presentations to look exceptional, the imageRUNNER LBP5360 toner is the way to go. An array of different media types can be printed on, like envelopes, and automatic duplex printing is supported. Though the weight of 48.5 pounds may seem a little hefty, the overall size is somewhat compact at only 17.25x16.25x28 inches. It may not be the flashiest laser printer, but the LBP5360 is a quality all-around machine.
