Canon LBP880 Toner Cartridges

Canon LBP880 Printer Review

The Canon LBP-880 is a compact and affordable laser printer designed for small office use. Its print speeds aren't overly impressive, but it sports a 1200 dpi printing engine that can produce sharp results. A few upgrade options are available to expand it in the future, and users will be particularly happy with the low price of Canon LBP-880 printer toner supplies.

The LBP-880's compact design is a big part of its appeal. It measures just 24 inches tall, with a footprint of 19.3x11.8 inches. It weighs a slightly hefty 50.7 pounds with the Canon LBP-880 toner cartridge installed, so users might require a little help when setting it up. The only connection option is a parallel port, but networking support is available with an optional upgrade.

The unit can print up to 16 pages per minute, which isn't terribly fast for its class, but isn't bad for the price. It starts with a capacity of 250 sheets in its main tray, but can be expanded with optional upgrades up to a maximum of 1,100 sheets to support higher volumes. Automatic duplexing is also available as an optional upgrade, or users can opt for manual duplexing, feeding the pages back through one at a time.

The cost of replacing toners is surprisingly low. Each Canon LBP-880 toner cartridge has a large estimated yield of 10,000 pages, which is impressive for such a compact machine. This helps keep the cost per page of Canon LBP-880 toner down much lower than that of much of the competition.

Whether for a small office or a very busy personal user, the LBP-880 is a great value for the price. Buyers who aren't too concerned about its lackluster print speeds will find its upgradeability and cost-effectiveness to be worth this minor tradeoff in the long run.
