Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Lexmark XC9655 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 run an in-plant print room or busy marketing shop printing 10,000 to 40,000 pages a month.
  • You need true tabloid and SRA3 13x19 for full-bleed letter and tabloid layouts.
  • You'll spec the inline booklet maker for proposals, manuals, and training material.
  • You want a single MFP to handle scanning, copying, secure release, and color print.
  • You're on a managed-print contract with metered toner and a known color CPP.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if you're upgrading from an older Lexmark X94x/X95x and want familiar workflow.
  • It's fine if you need solid B&W production work and color is a smaller share of the mix.
  • It's fine if your color tolerance is enterprise (RFPs, proposals) rather than press-grade.
  • It's fine if you have Ethernet at the device and don't need Wi-Fi as a primary path.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you do under 5,000 pages a month — buying production-class is overkill, look at the XC4150.
  • Skip this if your color output goes to design clients who color-match against Pantone — get a digital press.
  • Skip this if you can't budget for the inline finisher and high-capacity feeder you'll eventually need.
  • Skip this if you only need 45 ppm — the XC9645 saves money.
  • Skip this if you actually need 65 ppm — the XC9665 is a small step up and pays for itself in time saved.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

Stepping up from the 9645, the Lexmark XC9655 runs 55 ppm color and 55 ppm B&W in the same A3 production chassis. It's the middle of Lexmark's three 9-Series MFPs (45/55/65 ppm) and tends to be the volume seller because 55 ppm hits the sweet spot for in-plant print rooms doing 10,000-40,000 pages a month. SRA3 13x19 capability, 11.6-inch touchscreen, standard duplex, optional inline booklet maker and stapler. Same e-Task UI and Cloud Connect features as the rest of the lineup. The 1 thing buyers regret: not buying the 6,650-sheet input option up front. Adding paper drawers later means downtime and a service visit. The other regret: assuming this competes on color quality with a Konica AccurioPress or Ricoh Pro — it doesn't. The XC9655 is an excellent enterprise MFP, but it's not a digital production press. If your output is going to clients who scrutinize color, get a press; if it's internal flyers, training manuals, RFPs, and proposals, this is exactly right.

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 installed this for our office about two years ago and it's held up really well. The color output is sharp and the finishing options like stapling and hole punch save us time. Toner costs are reasonable if you buy in bulk."
  • "Good workhorse printer for a small graphic design firm. Speed is solid and the touchscreen interface is intuitive once you get used to it. Paper jams happen occasionally but nothing worse than our old Canon."
  • "Upgraded from a much older Lexmark and the difference is night and day. Network setup was straightforward, print quality is consistent, and our IT team says the security features are solid."
