Lanier LP550 Toner Cartridges

Lanier LP550 Printer Review

The Lanier LP550 (also referred to as the LP550c) is a fast color laser printer designed for the medium or large office or workgroup. Its print speeds are fast, at up to 50 pages per minute in both color and black-and-white. It has a warm up time of less than 50 seconds and a first page out time of 8 seconds or less. Printer toner costs are kept low by the affordable price of Lanier LP550 toner.

Unlike some larger printers, which are designed for specific configurations, the LP550 keeps things flexible. Its standard paper capacity is 500 sheets, but buyers can add additional trays to expand it to a maximum of 4,000 sheets. Finishing options are also available as upgrades, and optional interfaces are available for Gigabit ethernet and wireless networking, among other things. This extra customizability lets a smaller office expand and upgrade the machine to suit their needs without paying for features they don't need.

Replacing toners is quick and easy from the front access panel, and Lanier LP550 toner cartridges make it very affordable as well. The large capacity of Lanier LP550 toner cartridges ensures a low cost per page, and buyers can opt for compatible Lanier LP550 toner instead of the more expensive OEM versions to save even more money.

Compared to other models in its class, the LP550 offers more speed and features than many competing models, especially for the price. Buyers Lab gave the model the title of Outstanding Departmental Color Printer as a result of extensive lab testing and comparisons, crowning it one of the best in its class.

High-volume offices need a machine that can keep up with the pace, without sacrificing quality or affordability. The LP550 does just this, and manages to keep operating costs to a minimum as well.
