Savin MP C3002 Toner Cartridges

Savin MP C3002 Printer Review

With a larger-than-average touchscreen display and intuitive menus, the Savin MP-C3002 multifunction color laser printer seems to be designed with the user in mind. Its output speed of 30 pages per minute might be a little slow for busy offices, but its depth of features is impressive, and output quality is excellent.

The MP-C3002 includes copying, faxing, scanning, and printing features in a single device. While the scanning features might be the most easily overlooked, they may eventually become the most essential. As more and more offices make the switch to digital documents, the unit's 50-sheet automatic reversing document feeder and document server features are a great way to cut down on paper and Savin MP-C3002 printer toner usage.

When paper is needed, however, users are covered there as well. The MP-C3002 starts with two 550-sheet paper trays and a 100-sheet bypass tray for alternative media types. By adding additional trays, users can upgrade the machine to a maximum of 4,400 sheets for high-volume use. Other upgrade options include finishers for stapling, folding, and more. Users can also add security features to keep the stored data files more secure in sensitive environments.

One of the unit's biggest drawbacks lies in its expensive replacement toners. With four Savin MP-C3002 toner cartridges to replace, at fairly high prices, the costs add up quickly. Each color Savin MP-C3002 toner cartridge has an estimated yield of 18,000 pages, while the black supply can offer around 28,000 pages. Compatible Savin MP-C3002 toner is available from third-party sellers at slightly lower prices than OEM versions.

The MP-C3002 is a very robust and reliable multifunction device, even if its speeds are a bit on the slow side. Scanning and digital document features are impressive as well, with the only major letdown being the high operating costs.
