 Canon i-SENSYS LBP5360 Review

With colour laser printers launching at under £200, there has to be something completely different with regards to a unit costing nearly £800 including VAT. By far the most clearly distinct specification with the i-SENSYS LBP5360 is its print speed, with a rating of 21ppm with respect to both black as well as colour prints. Some other specifications which catch the eye are a first-page-out time of 10 seconds and toner capacities of 6,000 pages each.

It is a sizeable printer, sitting high over the table, having its in-line laser engine operating vertically, thus paper feeding from the 250-sheet paper tray at the bottom goes up the device and feeds to its top surface. There is also a 100-sheet multi-purpose tray, that folds down out of the front, also. Towards the top of the front panel is a tidy group of controls, with a single-line, backlit LCD display.

As standard, the i-SENSYS LBP5360 can be operated by means of USB 2, parallel or Ethernet connections plus it allows duplex printing, so you're able to save on paper through printing documents on the two sides of every sheet. Software provided with the model boasts a driver which supports handy print functions like watermarks and overprints.

The machine needed 26 seconds to complete a five-page black test print, giving it a print rate of 11.5ppm. Amazingly, it was actually quicker printing a combined text and colour graphics page, where it finished a five-page run in 21 seconds, at just over 14ppm. Printing duplex, the device managed 15 sides per minute, just about 75 percent of its rated speed. Although this might not seem really good, it is really pretty outstanding considering that all of the printer manufacturers insist upon estimating print rates that do not incorporate processing time or even warm-up.

We were treated to the very first page out of this printer in 15 seconds, and that is fine when compared to the principal competition, though 50 percent lengthier compared to a stated time. It features a pretty short warm-up and, due to the fact every one of the four colours features its own photoconductor drum, the page image is laid down bit by bit as the paper moves through; a simple yet effective approach.

Print quality is extremely good with respect to a business laser with text coming through razor-sharp, properly defined and also extremely black, in addition to colour graphics looking true to the screen image. Even pictures, not normally a strong suit with regard to colour lasers, seem natural from this printer and much less like 1930s retouched seaside postcards than from several of the i-SENSYS's competition.

With four separate drum and Canon i-SENSYS LBP5360 printer toner cartridges to look after, you might think it could be an expensive model to run. In reality, actually, it works out at about 1.7p for a black page and 6.5p for a colour one, which is at the less expensive end of the range. Every single cartridge will work for 6,000 pages, also, which means you aren't going to be always maintaining it, regardless of whether it's intensively utilized.

The i-SENSYS LBP5360 prints swiftly, at high quality and with below usual running costs, plus it's easy to look after as well as fairly quiet. The purchase price tag is pretty high, but if you place it in the center of a workgroup it should provide a good many days' work with no complaint.
