Lexmark XC8163

The XC8163 is the XC8160's sibling at the same 60 ppm color tabloid spec — configuration variant with different finishing or drawer bundles. Same 10-inch capacitive touchscreen, same 200-sheet single-pass duplex ADF, same 650-sheet input expandable to 6,650 sheets, gigabit Ethernet, optional Wi-Fi. Print, copy, scan, fax. True A3/tabloid handling. The 1 thing buyers regret: cross-shopping the XC8160 and XC8163 without comparing the bills of materials. They share the engine. The XC8163 typically includes finishing or input bundles that change the price comparison meaningfully. Get the dealer to spec what's in the box. The other regret is the same as the XC8160: buying tabloid color you don't actually use. At this price point, every percentage of letter-only output is paid-for tabloid capacity going to waste. If you're not sure your tabloid need is real, prototype with a managed-print color tabloid for 90 days first.
