i-SENSYS LBP6030B Mono Laser Printer Black Review – LBP6030B Model

Introduction

The Canon i-SENSYS LBP6030B is marketed as an affordable mono laser printer perfect for home or small offices. Having used this printer for several weeks, I can attest to its speed and ease of use. But does it live up to the hype? Let’s dive into a detailed review of the LBP6030B model.

Features

The LBP6030B boasts several features designed for efficiency and ease of use. Its compact size makes it ideal for small workspaces. Setup was straightforward; the included instructions were clear and concise. The printer itself is surprisingly quiet during operation, a welcome feature in a home office environment. The indicator lights provide clear visual feedback on printer status. The wired connection is reliable and has proven to be trouble-free during my testing.

Performance

The advertised print speed of 18 pages per minute is accurate in my experience. I tested it with various document types, including text-heavy documents and some with images, and the print speed remained consistently fast. The first print time is also impressively quick; there’s minimal waiting. Print quality is excellent for a mono laser printer – crisp, sharp text and clear images where applicable. The toner cartridge included in the box lasted longer than I anticipated, even with regular use.

During testing, I did notice a slight increase in print noise when printing images with many fine details. However, this was only a minor point, and the speed still outweighs this minor drawback for everyday office use.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

  • Fast print speed
  • Quick first print time
  • Excellent print quality for a mono laser printer
  • Compact and stylish design

  • Slight increase in noise level when printing detailed images

Final Verdict

The Canon i-SENSYS LBP6030B is an excellent choice for individuals and small businesses needing a reliable, affordable, and fast mono laser printer. Its combination of speed, print quality, and compact design makes it a winner. While the lack of Wi-Fi connectivity might be a drawback for some, the overall performance and value for money make it a highly recommended printer. The LBP6030B model deserves a strong recommendation, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use this printer in my own office.
