Xerox 7835 Printer Review

With a little more speed and a larger duty cycle, the Xerox WorkCentre 7835 multifunction color laser printer is a step up from the entry model in its series, but the additional price might not be worth the boost. It can reach up to 35 pages per minute, but Xerox 7835 printer toner suffers from the same high cost.

In addition to the speed boost, the 7835 can handle a slightly larger workload, at up to 110,000 pages per month. Otherwise, it features the same print, copy, fax, scan, and email functions as the rest of its line. The large touchscreen display uses large icons that should seem familiar to tablet users, and the Xerox Mobile Print features even make it easy to print from tablets, smartphones, and other devices very easily.

The 7835 comes with a 110-sheet duplex automatic document feeder that shows it means business. Capable of scanning up to 70 images per minute, this will help users scan through stacks of paper in no time, and the 160 GB hard drive provides storage for digital documents, which can be accessed from any networked computer. A print resolution of up to 1200x2400 dpi ensures sharp and vibrant output quality, even for photos.

Though its features are impressive, the cost of toners is a concern. Xerox 7835 toner cartridges are generally more expensive than those of the competition, and with four separate WorkCentre 7835 toner cartridges to replace, it will require a significant chunk of the office budget. Although the Xerox 7835 toner supplies can provide up to 15,000 pages for color and 26,000 pages for black, their cost per page is not as affordable as many competing models.

Overall, the 7835 is somewhat of a mixed bag. Its mobile printing and email features are impressive, as is the print quality. Unfortunately, the high cost of WorkCentre 7835 toner and relatively slow speeds of 35 pages per minute make it hard to justify its high price tag.
