CNET Review
The Good: Fast prints; excellent print quality; built-in duplexer; network-ready; separate photoconductor means less waste; expandable on-board memory.
The Bad: Text LCD isn't backlit; C530dn model doesn't have expandable paper handling options; color handling could use some minor improvements; lacks straight pass-through printing.
