Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Lexmark XC8163 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 with regular tabloid (11x17) workflow.
  • You'll compare the XC8163 bill of materials against the XC8160 to pick the right bundle.
  • You produce booklets, large spreadsheets, or 11x17 marketing collateral.
  • You'll spec the booklet finisher and high-capacity stacker.
  • 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 your dealer recommends the XC8163 over the XC8160 because of bundling.
  • It's fine if your color tolerance is enterprise, not press-grade.
  • It's fine if 60 ppm covers your workflow.
  • It's fine if you're a managed-print customer.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you can't get a clear bill of materials from your dealer.
  • Skip this if you'll only print tabloid 1-2 times a month — XC6-Series.
  • 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.
  • Skip this if you need 65 ppm tabloid color — XC9665.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The XC8163 is the XC8160's sibling at the same 60 ppm color tabloid spec — configuration variant with different finishing or drawer bundles. Same 10-inch capacitive touchscreen, same 200-sheet single-pass duplex ADF, same 650-sheet input expandable to 6,650 sheets, gigabit Ethernet, optional Wi-Fi. Print, copy, scan, fax. True A3/tabloid handling. The 1 thing buyers regret: cross-shopping the XC8160 and XC8163 without comparing the bills of materials. They share the engine. The XC8163 typically includes finishing or input bundles that change the price comparison meaningfully. Get the dealer to spec what's in the box. The other regret is the same as the XC8160: buying tabloid color you don't actually use. At this price point, every percentage of letter-only output is paid-for tabloid capacity going to waste. If you're not sure your tabloid need is real, prototype with a managed-print color tabloid for 90 days first.

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:

  • ★ "We got this for our office about two years ago and it's been solid. Fast print speeds for color work and the duplex scanning saves us time on document management. Network setup was straightforward."
  • ★ "Good multifunction machine overall, handles our small business needs well. The finishing options are nice if you use them, but the toner cartridges are pricey and the touchscreen can be a bit slow to respond sometimes."
  • ★ "Print quality on the XC8163 is excellent for our marketing materials. Color accuracy is consistent and the warm-up time is reasonable. Support from Lexmark has been responsive when we had questions about the advanced features."
