Description

Kyocera Mita Ecosys FS-C5025N Network 22 PPM Mono / Color Laser Printer #
1102HK2US0

A workgroup laser with a good turn of speed and low running costs, but we
expect better quality at this price.

This small business 22 ppm full-color workgroup printer is capable of imaging
at 600 dpi for crisp professional documents. In addition, the fast 500MHz CPU
processes documents quickly for maximum productivity and minimum wait time. The
FS-C5025N is the perfect addition for businesses looking to increase
productivity and at low TCO.

A stylish, compact colour A4 laser boasting all the benefits of ECOSYS, such
as improved environmental efficiency, reduced waste and importantly the lowest
color cost per page in its class. Add this to its impressive time to first
page, speed and print quality and you couldn�t ask for more from a color
workgroup laser printer.

Ideal for your A4 business colour printing needs the compact FS-C5025N
combines industry-leading expertise in office printing with ECOSYS technology
to deliver best in class cost effectiveness for your office printing. Network
ready and with the extensive paper handling options available it will more
than meet the needs of your workgroup or department.

Color Tandem Network Printer with 500 sheet drawer, 100 sheet Multi-Purpose
Tray. 22ppm (color/mono), 600x600dpi, 600MHz Controller, 128MB (640MB max),
Windows & Mac compatible. 10/100 BaseTX, USB2.0

Prices for color lasers may have dropped enough to make them affordable for
small offices, but a drawback of these budget-priced boxes is often high running
costs and substandard print quality. As its price tag suggests, Kyocera�s
latest FS-C5025N stays away from this market and is aimed at professional users
who aren�t prepared to sacrifice on quality and want low running costs.

The printer certainly delivers on the second count, as all toner cartridges last
for 8,000 pages and you have a maintenance kit that�s good for 200,000 pages.
Overall costs per A4 mono page pan out to 0.9p, while colour pushes this to 4p
per page. Compare these costs with TallyGenicom�s sub-$500 8108N, which sets
you back 3.2c for a mono page and 22.6c for a color page, and you can see where
Kyocera is coming from.

The printer comes with an integral 500-sheet lower tray and you can add up to
three more 500-sheet trays, along with an optional duplex unit. The printer is
equipped with a decent 500MHz processor and the base memory can be upgraded
to 640MB. Note that Kyocera wants around �210 for an extra 256MB 100-pin
DIMM � half that charged by HP. Installing the printer is simple, as the
routine hunts down the device on the network and offers the most appropriate
drivers. The printer�s web interface is basic, but it does provide plenty of
information about consumables, easy access to settings and options to send
alerts via email.

To get colour print speeds up to a reasonable level, the C5025N uses a
single-pass system, where the toner cartridges are laid out in a line down the
paper path. Sure enough, the system worked fine, as our 24-page test DTP
document with plenty of colour graphics and photographs was completed in 1min
11secs for 20ppm. Mono speeds were on the money as well, with a 20-page Word
document churned out in 58 seconds. The printer�s top resolution is 600 x
600dpi, so there isn�t much to play with in the driver panel � select the
top-quality setting or choose from a couple of toner-saving modes.

We found print quality to be disappointing overall. Text across a wide range of
font sizes was sharp, and graphs and charts were delivered with no discernable
banding. However, color photos were lackluster and a slight banding was
noticeable in large areas comprising a single colour. The level of detail,
particularly in darker areas, was good, but our test pictures lacked the
vibrancy we�ve seen with Oki�s C5600n and Lexmark�s A-Listed C522n.
Further investigation revealed reasonably smooth fills across color fades, but
grey shades composed of equal mixes of C, Y and M showed too much magenta.

The FS-C5025N scores highly for its speed and low running costs. Although the
print quality makes it suited mainly to businesses looking for no more than a splash
of colour in reports, the fact remains that as a workhorse laser it makes a good
alternative to the A-Listed Lexmark.
