Lexmark XC9535

The Lexmark XC9535 is the 35 ppm A3 color laser MFP — same form factor as the XC9525 but with a 35 ppm engine, 10.1-inch touchscreen, 200 ipm duplex scanning, 4,750-sheet paper capacity, 60-300 gsm media support, Gigabit Ethernet plus Wi-Fi, Intelligent Storage Drive standard, integrated with Lexmark e-Task, 150,000 max monthly duty cycle. This is the right A3 MFP for a busy 30-50 person office that needs Tabloid color output and the throughput to keep the queue moving. Recommended volume 4,000-20,000 pages a month. The 1 thing buyers regret: not spec'ing the optional finisher when the workflow includes booklets, stapled reports, or hole-punched binders. The XC9535 is built to support full finishing options but they're add-ons — at A3 production volumes the finisher pays for itself in time saved manually stapling and binding. Quote it on day one.
