Kyocera Mita FS-C8020 Toner Cartridges

Kyocera Mita FS-C8020 Printer Review

The Kyocera Mita FS-C8020 color laser printer is a good fit for a small or mid-sized office, though speeds of 20 pages per minute might not be enough for busy work environments. Its control panel is easy to use, and there is plenty of room for expansion with several upgrade options. Inexpensive Kyocera Mita FS-C8020 printer toner supplies keep the cost per page low as well.

While the top speed of the FS-C8020 might be slow for some, it's not the only factor for fast-paced environments. The unit can warm up in around 55 seconds for a quick start in the morning, and the first page out time of 11 seconds means a fast response when a new print job is sent.

The machine can handle printing, scanning, copying, and faxing, which is impressive at its low price point. The output resolution of only 600 dpi is lower than some competing models, but not most in its price range. It comes with an automatic document feeder than can scan up to 50 sheets in one batch, with support for two-sided documents as well. Scanned documents can be saved to an FTP server, a USB flash drive, or sent via email. The latter option is a great alternative to faxing, saving on paper and Kyocera Mita FS-C8020 toner in the process.

Kyocera Mita FS-C8020 toner cartridges are relatively affordable compared to the competition, but replacing four toners may be more than a small office budget can handle, so buyers should tread carefully. Still, each of the three color Kyocera Mita FS-C8020 toner cartridges is rated for up to 6,000 pages of output, while the black supply can output up to 12,000 pages. This ensures that even busy offices won't be replacing supplies too frequently.

Buyers looking for fast performance may be a little disappointed by the Kyocera Mita FS-C8020, but its multiple functions and sharp color output are impressive for the price. Small offices will appreciate its compact design, without sacrificing important features.
