Canon Laser Shot LBP5000

Canon’s latest colour laser printer, the LaserShot LBP-5000, is not an expensive purchase. At well under £200, it’s suitable for small office and home use, anywhere you need more colour print, less expensively than a typical ink-jet printer can provide. The printer is designed to be easy to maintain, with all-in-one colour cartridges. About the same size as a free-standing, draining board dishwasher, this 8ppm colour laser is the epitome of simple design. Paper feeds from a 250-sheet paper tray at the bottom, past each of the four integral toner and drum cartridges inside the printer, to feed out at the top of the machine, towards the back. A top cover flips over to become the output paper support. It’s hard to see why you’d want to keep the output tray covered by folding its cover shut, but there may be some who use the LBP-5000 only occasionally.
