Lexmark CS531dw colour laser printer A4, Wi-Fi

A laser printer transfers toner onto the paper and fuses it with heat, so pages come out dry and text has crisp edges. A colour laser printer does the same with four toners, which makes it a good fit for documents where colour carries information: charts, highlighted tables, logos and presentations. It prints black text too, so one device covers both invoices and colour material.

Thanks to its wireless network connection, the CS531dw does not have to sit next to one computer or need a cable running across the room. You can place it wherever there is space and a power socket, and every computer on the same Wi-Fi network can send print jobs to it. This is especially handy in offices where desks get rearranged from time to time.

The largest supported paper size is A4. That is enough for invoices, contracts, reports and most marketing material. This printer does not print A3 posters or drawings – if you need those, you will need an A3 printer. A4 is the most common paper size in European offices, so ordinary copy paper is easy to find.

The manufacturer data lists the product type as printer. No scanner, copier or fax is mentioned, so the CS531dw is meant for printing only. If your office also needs to scan, keep that in mind and choose an all-in-one printer or a separate scanner.

Small and mid-sized offices that print both black text and colour charts and presentations every day and want one shared Wi-Fi printer; teams whose documents are A4; and companies where scanning is already handled by another device.
