PC Pro‘s review Edit

Canon's space-saving desktop colour laser delivers quality for both mono and colour prints that belies its low price.

PC Pro‘s review Edit

Cleverly designed and capable of superb results, the Canon narrowly misses out on a recommendation due to high running costs.

If you're considering a colour laser printer for personal use and have both this Canon i-SENSYS LBP5050 and the HP LaserJet CP1515n on your shortlist, you should see slightly quicker and slightly cheaper prints from the Canon machine, but marginally better print quality from the HP, which also provides network capability for a fiver or so more than USB-only LBP5050.

ITreviews‘s review Edit

At £199, the LBP5050 is one of the cheaper colour lasers on the market and its compact design makes it well suited to the home office. The toner is slightly more expensive than we'd like, although it's not uncommon for printers with low price tags to try to make extra money on consumables. Our only other gripe is that there's no option to add a network module at a later date, so you might want to consider spending the extra £30 and opting for the LBP5050n.

Print quality is generally good, with dense, clean black text. But colours are a bit over-bright, and blues and greens tend to come through dark. There’s some mis-registration of black text over colour.

PC Advisor‘s review Edit

The Canon i-SENSYS LBP5050n isn’t without its flaws, but overall this is a very commendable printer. The quality is good – very good on text – and even if the specifications don’t compare with those of other colour lasers, the price tag is sufficiently low to make this a genuine upgrade from an inkjet.
