Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Toshiba e-STUDIO 5520C is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • You want a refurbished 55 PPM color MFP at a 30-50% discount
  • You have a dealer with strong 5520 parts and toner inventory
  • You print 5,000-12,000 color pages a month for a 15-25 person workgroup
  • You scan to email or folder, not cloud apps
  • You need A3, duplex, and finisher options
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if your team adapts to the older copier-menu UI
  • It's fine if you skip the booklet finisher initially
  • It's fine if 60% of your work is monochrome
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if your dealer cannot guarantee long-term parts
  • Skip this if you need native cloud scan connectors
  • Skip this if you want the latest mobile print app integrations
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

From the prior generation, the Toshiba e-STUDIO 5520C runs 55 PPM color and monochrome on the older e-BRIDGE controller, with A3 tabloid support, standard duplex, and the older copier-menu touchscreen. For a 15-25 person workgroup shopping refurbished at a steep discount versus the current 5506AC family, this is a defensible buy if the dealer carries the toner supply and parts inventory for the 5520 platform. Paper capacity scales past 4,500 sheets across drawers. Finisher options include staple and hole-punch with the booklet maker as a separate add. The honest regret: cloud connectors are limited compared to e-BRIDGE Next, so scan-to-Google-Drive may need a third-party gateway. For a budget-driven color refresh, the 5520C is a known reliable platform.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.
