Gestetner MP 2553 Toner Cartridges

Gestetner MP 2553 Printer Review

The Gestetner MP 2553 is not exactly tailored to high-speed laser printing, at a maximum of 25 pages per minute, but it does respond quickly, with a first page out time of less than 10 seconds. It also includes an array of copying and scanning features, with the option to add faxing as buyers see fit.

The base configuration of the unit is also referred to as the MP 2553sp model, denoting its scanning and printing features. The standard design has a relatively small footprint of only 32.6x23.1x25.7 inches, but it is quite heavy, at 165 pounds with the Gestetner MP 2553 printer toner installed. Users can upgrade the touchscreen to a larger 10.1-inch display that supports the type of pinching and flicking gestures of a smartphone or tablet.

For such an affordable device, paper handling is quite versatile. A 100-sheet automatic document feeder is included for fast unattended scanning, and it supports duplex originals as well. The standard paper capacity includes one 550-sheet and one 500-sheet main trays, with the option to add even more input trays for a maximum of 3,150 sheets. Those who want to save on paper and Gestetner MP 2553 toner supplies can utilize the machine's paperless faxing capabilities, which send via internet or LAN.

With affordable toners, buyers won't have to try as hard to make each Gestetner MP 2553 toner cartridge last. With each Gestetner MP 2553 toner cartridge estimated at a yield of 11,000 pages, buyers also benefit from a low cost per page that will help save money on every printed page.

Whether buyers need a multifunction device for a growing small office or already have a heavy workload to manage, the MP 2553 could be a very good value. Its output speeds are a bit disappointing, but it makes up for it with an excellent touchscreen display and cost-saving supplies.
