Lexmark MS810n Toner Cartridges

Lexmark MS810n Printer Review

The Lexmark MS810n is a fast laser printer that can print up to 55 pages per minute, and it comes in multiple configurations to meet varying demands. Its purchase price is somewhat expensive, however, as is the cost of Lexmark MS810n printer toner. Extras like duplexing and networking add extra value, and finishing upgrades can save a lot of time.

Included in the MS810 series are the MS810n with an ethernet port for networking, the MS810dn that adds duplexing, the MS810dtn with an extra paper tray, and the MS810de that includes a larger touch screen display for better navigation. Those who choose to start with the MS810n will find that they can get most of these features by adding optional upgrades, with the exception of the touch screen.

The MS810n has the benefit of being quite compact in its standard configuration. It measures 16.5x16.7x20.1 inches and weighs just 52.2 pounds, despite its fast performance. It is also fairly quiet in operation, making it a suitable unit for working in close proximity to a user without being too distracting. A number of great finishing components are available, adding features like sorting and stapling. The total paper capacity is upgradeable to a maximum of 4,400 sheets, leaving a lot of room to grow.

In addition to a steep purchase price, the cost of replacement toners will add up as well. Lexmark MS810n toner cartridges provide up to 6,000 pages each, and the same design is shared among the different configurations, which should help reduce prices. Unfortunately, the cost per page for Lexmark MS810n toner cartridges is higher than most in its class.

Overall, the MS810n has the fast speeds and sharp output that office users will want, but its price-to-performance ratio isn't as balanced as it could be. Pricey Lexmark MS810n toner doesn't help its case, either.
