Lanier SP C320DN Toner Cartridges

Lanier SP C320DN Printer Review

The Lanier SP C320DN isn't the fastest or least-expensive color laser printer in its class, but it offers impressive print quality and a solid print speed of up to 26 pages per minute. It also features an Economy Color Mode that can save on Lanier SP C320DN printer toner, and a night sensor that can power down the machine at night to save power.

Even with such a compact design, the SP C320DN provides a fairly large paper capacity, with a 500-sheet standard tray and a 100-sheet bypass tray for alternate media. Users can add an additional 500-sheet tray for a total capacity of 1,100 sheets. This versatility makes it a good fit for an individual at a desk, or a small networked office of shared users. The machine measures 15.2x15.8x18.9 inches, and weighs 63.9 pounds with the Lanier SP C320DN toner supplies installed.

Users have the choice of connecting the machine via USB 2.0 directly to an individual PC, or connecting to an ethernet network for sharing. There are also optional upgrades for Gigabit ethernet, 802.11 wireless support, and more. Windows, Mac, and other operating systems are supported, which is ideal for cross-platform office environments.

The maximum printing resolution using color Lanier SP C320DN toner cartridges is 1200x1200 dpi, which will provide sharp and detailed images and text. Replacing toners can get a bit expensive, however. Lanier SP C320DN toner cartridges are available in standard (2,500 pages) and high-capacity (6,500 pages) versions, but the cost per page is still somewhat high for either option.

The Lanier SP C320DN offers excellent print quality, even though its print speeds aren't particularly fast. Its compact design and upgrade options make it worth a look for a small office, but buyers should beware of high running costs, especially if they do a lot of printing.
