Toshiba eSTUDIO4525AC

The Toshiba e-STUDIO 4525AC is a 45-ppm A3 color multifunction printer for production-style departments of 25-60 people. Print and copy speed is 45 ppm in both color and mono, paper capacity is 600 sheets standard (two 300-sheet drawers) expandable to 3,200 with the LCF, and the rated monthly duty cycle is 150,000 pages. The 9-inch e-BRIDGE Next color touchscreen runs the same panel software as the rest of the 25-series, with scan-to-email, SMB folder, USB, FTP, SharePoint, and cloud destinations. Standard ADF is a 100-sheet RADF; an optional 300-sheet single-pass DSDF is the right pick for high-volume scan teams. Auto duplex print is standard. Connectivity is Gigabit Ethernet, USB, optional Wi-Fi/Wi-Fi Direct, plus AirPrint and Mopria. Finishing options include staple, hole-punch, booklet, and saddle-stitch. The thing buyers regret: skipping the DSDF upgrade and discovering that walk-up scan jobs become the bottleneck on an otherwise fast machine. If you scan all day, spec the DSDF up front. A3 color, fax optional, dealer-serviced.
