Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Canon imagePRESS Lite C170 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 run an in-house print room or a workgroup of 50-150 people that needs entry-level production color in a desktop-class footprint.
  • You print 10,000-40,000 pages a month with regular 13x19 short-run work and need 2400 dpi R-VCSEL output.
  • You scan high volumes daily — the 300-sheet single-pass duplex ADF runs 220 ipm color / 240 ipm BW duplex.
  • You want full MFP capability built in: scan-to-email/SMB/FTP/USB/Advanced Box/cloud via uniFLOW, plus optional fax.
  • You need 3,300 sheets letter capacity, with stack bypass for stocks up to 130 lb. Cover (350 gsm).
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print 5,000-10,000 pages a month — the C170 is overbuilt for that, you'll just amortize over a longer lease (or buy the C165 instead).
  • You need 11x17 from every tray — Tray 1 and Tray 2 are Letter only; 11x17 comes from Tray 3/4 or the bypass.
  • You want Fiery — the imagePRESS Server L30 V2 (FS400 Pro) or M10 V2 (FS400) bolt on; standard imagePRESS Printer Kit-G1E (PS/PCL/UFR) handles most office workflows without the extra hardware.
  • You're replacing an imageRUNNER ADVANCE — operators adapt to the 10.1" touchscreen quickly.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You print over 60,000 pages a month — the C170 is the production-MFP class entry; a C710-class production press is the better economics.
  • You need maximum 11x17 capacity — the standard 11x17 paper capacity is 1,100 sheets and you'll burn through it fast on production runs.
  • You need automatic duplex on 130 lb. Cover — auto-duplex is capped at 80 lb. Cover (220 gsm); heavier stocks are simplex only.
  • You need a 1,200 dpi engine for compatibility with legacy color profiles — the C170 only outputs 2400 dpi.
  • You don't have a Canon dealer relationship — toner and click billing run through dealer channels.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Canon imagePRESS Lite C170 is the faster sibling in the Lite C165/C170 family — same chassis, same 27.1 x 37.1 x 48 inch footprint, same 4 GB RAM and 10.1-inch touchscreen, same 250 GB / 1 TB HDD options, but a 70 ppm color / 80 ppm BW Letter engine (35 ipm color / 40 ipm BW on 11x17) versus the C165's 65/70. First-copy-out is 5.4 seconds color / 4.4 seconds BW, and quick-startup wakes the engine in 4 seconds. Print resolution is 2400 x 2400 dpi via R-VCSEL imaging — this is genuine production-class output in a desktop-MFP form factor. Standard paper capacity is 3,300 sheets Letter across two engine cassettes plus two larger trays, scaling further with optional Letter Paper Deck Unit-E1 (3,500 sheets) or POD Deck (3,500 sheets, 130 lb. Cover capable). The 300-sheet single-pass duplex ADF scans at 220 ipm color / 240 ipm BW duplex — proper production-class scan throughput, not an office-MFP afterthought. Full scan destination set: email, SMB, FTP, WebDAV, USB, Advanced Box, Mail Box, i-Fax, plus scan-to-cloud via uniFLOW. The thing buyers regret: under-spec'ing the paper deck. Plan the optional 3,500-sheet deck on day one if you'll run above 15,000 pages/month.

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.
