Toshiba - Kyocera 2160 Printer Manual

Costs per page are quite good: 8.9¢ for a color page and
1.4¢ for black. Those costs are very impressive for a low-
cost printer and makes this machine worthy of a second
look.
This is a decent printer, but while it would have been a
strong competitor a year ago, it has now been outgunned
by newer introductions. The consumables costs alone
might make this a very good buy if you are interested in
a small workgroup printer.

The Color Laser Printer Guide: Vendor & Product Profiles
Price per page is 10¢ for color and around 2.3¢ for
black-and-white. Those are quite good prices, so you may
want to figure out if you run high-enough volumes to
overcome the high sticker price for the printer itself.
This is a good enough model, but it has a lot of compe-
tition in its range, most notably Xerox Phaser 7300, based
on a newer and faster version of the same engine. The
8026 deserves a look, and should do well in
TallyGenicom's government-oriented channels.

Vendor Profile
Toshiba, a huge Japanese electronics company, is a rela-
tively small player in the office equipment market.
Toshiba makes fax machines and copiers, and has recent-
ly entered the color laser printer market. Its current mod-
els are relabeled versions of Lexmark color printers,
including one that has recently been discontinued by
Lexmark. Toshiba's partnership with Lexmark is part of
a strategy to offer a broader range of devices to its cus-
tomers, which is especially important when it comes to
bidding on large multi-machine deals. Toshiba has intro-
duced relabeled versions of Lexmark's monochrome
laser printers as well. Note that Toshiba prices for
machines and options are list. They tend to have prices
similar to Lexmark equivalents, but you'll have to negoti-
ate consumables with your dealer. All Toshiba models
come with Ethernet included. You can add duplexers,
memory, and paper trays to match other Lexmark mod-
els in the respective families.
