Lanier LD520 Toner Cartridges

Lanier LD520 Printer Review

The Lanier LD520 (also referred to as the LD525C or LD525CL) multifunction color laser printer is geared toward the small or medium office environment that requires multiple functions in a single machine. Its print speeds are fairly fast, at up to 20 pages per minute in both color and monochrome, and first page out time is as fast as 6.5 seconds for black and white. Saving on printer toner is easy, as Lanier LD520 toner is very affordably priced.

The design of the LD520 is compact for its class, measuring 33.3 inches by 23.1 inches by 25.8 inches, and the unit weighs 220 pounds. Wheels on the bottom of the frame make it easy to move around when necessary. The standard paper capacity is only 600 sheets, which should be a good fit for a small office, but it can be expanded to a maximum of 1,600 sheets to accommodate more users or high-volume needs. The machine can print, scan, copy, and fax, and comes with a built-in ethernet port for connecting and sharing across a network.

One of the main benefits of the LD520 is money saved when replacing toners. Lanier LD520 toner cartridges have a fairly large capacity of 5,500 pages for color and 10,000 pages for black. This ensures that users won't need to replace Lanier LD520 toner cartridges often, and gives them a low cost per page. Compatible Lanier LD520 toner is also available at lower prices than OEM versions.

Compared to larger models such as the LD550, the LD520 has slower print speeds, a smaller hard drive, and less paper capacity. However, its lower price makes it a better value for smaller offices that don't need those extra features.

Overall, buyers will appreciate the small compromises made to bring the price of the LD520 down to meet the budgets of smaller offices. Its solid speeds and upgrade options make it a good fit for a growing office.
