Lanier MP C3002 Toner Cartridges

Lanier MP C3002 Printer Review

The Lanier MP-C3002 is a multifunction color laser printer designed for the fast-paced work environment. It includes a large, full-color touchscreen control panel for ease-of-use, and it can reach speeds of up to 30 pages per minute. Lanier MP-C3002 printer toner can be a little pricey to replace, but large capacities help keep the cost per page down.

While a few buyers may be turned away by the machine's maximum speed, it is more than capable of high-volume office use. It has a first copy speed of just 4.8 seconds in monochrome and 7.3 seconds in full color. It is also capable of holding up to 4,400 sheets of input paper with all upgrades installed, so even a large office won't be constantly replenishing the paper supply.

The tiltable 8.5-inch control panel features a touchscreen that is reminiscent of a tablet, with large, full-color icons to make it easier to navigate. Users can customize the interface by saving their most common workflows for one-touch access on the Home Screen. It also integrates with Lanier's Cloud Solutions to make documents available from almost anywhere. Using the 50-sheet reversing document feeder and the Scan-to-Email function is a much better alternative to faxing, as well.

The cost of replacement toners can be a bit daunting, with four Lanier MP-C3002 toner cartridges to replace. They come with high yields, however, as each color Lanier MP-C3002 toner cartridge can provide around 18,000 pages, and the black supply can provide 28,000 pages. This keeps the cost per page for Lanier MP-C3002 toner pretty low, despite the somewhat high prices.

The MP-C3002 may not have the output speed that some buyers will be looking for, but benefits like fast response times and its excellent touchscreen interface should keep it in the running. With enough upgradeability for a growing office, it can be a good solution for smaller offices that plan to expand.
