We like:

Fast prints; excellent print quality; built-in duplexer (except on the C532n model); network-ready; separate photoconductor means less waste; expandable on-board memory

We don't like:

Text LCD isn't backlit; C530dn model doesn't have expandable paper handling options; colour handling could use some minor improvements; lacks straight pass-through printing

CNET UK judgement:

With fast speeds and impressive print quality, the Lexmark C530dn is a great colour laser printer for the price -- we prefer it over a more expensive colour printer from the competition

Full review:

The Lexmark C530dn is a fast, high-quality colour laser printer that we recommend for any small office or home with high-volume printing needs. For £300, you get a network-ready printer with a built-in duplexer for automatic double-sided printing. If you need increased paper-handling options or more toner cartridge choices, check out the C532n (£340, no duplexer) or the slightly more expensive C532dn (£430). Continue Reading...
