Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Lexmark C6160 is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You're a marketing department or small print room doing 3,000-10,000 color pages a month.
  • You'll spec the high-capacity input feeder so paper loading isn't the bottleneck.
  • You'll buy extra-high-yield toner from the start to drop CPP.
  • You want enterprise color quality for marketing collateral, proposals, and internal flyers.
  • You need gigabit Ethernet, secure release, and Lexmark's Embedded Solutions Framework.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you're upgrading from a CS820 or CS921 and want similar workflow.
  • It's fine if you don't need scan or copy at this device.
  • It's fine if your color tolerance is enterprise rather than press-grade.
  • It's fine if you're a managed-print customer with locked-in CPP.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if your color volume is under 2,000 pages a month — the C4150 is plenty.
  • Skip this if you also need scanning — get the XC6153de or XC8160 MFP.
  • Skip this if you need tabloid output — XC9-Series.
  • Skip this if your output is client-facing color-matched work — get a digital press.
  • Skip this if you don't have the floor space and weight tolerance — this is a heavy device.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

At 60 ppm color, the Lexmark C6160 is the top of the C-series single-function color line — a high-volume color printer for marketing departments, in-plant shops, and small print rooms doing 3,000-10,000 color pages a month. 4.3-inch touchscreen (capacitive), standard duplex, 650-sheet input expandable to 6,650 sheets, gigabit Ethernet, optional Wi-Fi. Same Unison toner system as smaller C-series machines but with extra-high-yield cartridges that bring CPP down meaningfully at this volume. The 1 thing buyers regret: not specing the high-capacity input feeder. At 60 ppm color, a single 650-sheet drawer empties in under 11 minutes of continuous run. If you batch-print 1,000-page marketing collateral runs, you'll spend half your time loading paper without the HCIF. The other regret is comparing the C6160 to a digital production press for client-facing work. It's an excellent enterprise color printer; it's not a Konica AccurioPress or Ricoh Pro C-Series. For client-facing color-matched output, get the press.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.

What customers actually say

The 5-star consensus: "it just works"

Small sample size, high signal. The 3 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging Lexmark machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • ★ "Been using this for our small marketing office for about two years now. The color output is sharp and consistent, and the finishing options like the booklet maker have saved us money on outsourcing. Toner cartridges are a bit pricey but they last a decent amount of time."
  • ★ "My office needed a reliable color laser printer that could handle higher volume, and this does the job well enough. Setup was straightforward, though the drivers took a minute to get working on our network. Print quality is good for business documents, not quite photo lab level but that's expected."
  • ★ "Replaced an older Canon and this Lexmark has been rock solid. It handles our mixed workload of color brochures and regular office printing without any jams or weird errors. Support was actually helpful when I called with a question about the finishing options."
