Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Lexmark XC8160 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 print 5,000-15,000 color pages a month and at least 10% needs to be tabloid (11x17).
  • You produce booklets, posters, large spreadsheets, or 11x17 marketing layouts.
  • You'll spec the booklet finisher and high-capacity stacker.
  • You want the 10-inch capacitive touchscreen for managing complex jobs.
  • You scan 100-200 page batches and want the 200-sheet single-pass duplex ADF.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you're upgrading from a CX825 with the rare tabloid need now formalized.
  • It's fine if your color tolerance is enterprise, not press-grade.
  • It's fine if you're a managed-print customer.
  • It's fine if 60 ppm covers your workflow without needing 65 ppm.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you'll only print tabloid 1-2 times a month — letter-only XC6-Series saves money.
  • Skip this if your monthly color volume is under 3,000 pages — XC4-Series.
  • Skip this if your output is client-facing color-matched work — digital press.
  • Skip this if you need 65 ppm tabloid color — XC9665.
  • Skip this if you don't have floor space — this is a heavy floor-standing device.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

Stepping up to A3/tabloid, the Lexmark XC8160 is a 60 ppm color tabloid production-class MFP — the bridge between the A4 XC6-Series and the bigger XC9-Series. 200-sheet single-pass duplex ADF, 10-inch capacitive touchscreen, 650-sheet input expandable to 6,650 sheets, gigabit Ethernet, optional Wi-Fi, optional inline finishing including booklet making. True tabloid (11x17) capability, A3 paper handling. The 1 thing buyers regret: buying tabloid color and never using tabloid. If 95% of your output is letter, the XC6152de or XC4150 would have done the job for less money. Tabloid only earns the price premium if you have at least one workflow — booklets, posters, large spreadsheets, architectural drafts at small scale — that genuinely needs 11x17. The other regret is undersizing the finishing. At 60 ppm color tabloid, a busy print room produces stapled and folded sets faster than a person can keep up. Spec the booklet maker and the high-capacity stacker.

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 office for about a year now. The XC8160 handles our high-volume printing without breaking a sweat, and the color output is consistently sharp. Support has been responsive when we needed help with the network setup."
  • ★ "Good machine overall, though the learning curve on the touch screen interface took longer than I expected. Printing speed is solid and toner cartridges last a reasonable amount of time. A few more customization options in the driver would be nice."
  • ★ "Upgraded from an older Lexmark and this thing is a huge step up. Scans to email work flawlessly, and the finishing options are exactly what we needed for our client materials. Haven't had a single jam in six months of regular use."
