Xerox 013R00670 printer drum Original

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

If you’re already running a Xerox machine that takes this specific drum, the “Original by Xerox” route at £199 ex-VAT is usually the sensible choice. In practice, these genuine drums tend to be consistent on image quality and yield — you’re less likely to get that frustrating early-life fade, streaking, or annoying toner/transfer mismatches that can happen with cheaper compatibles. For an office that relies on steady output (or anyone who doesn’t want downtime and support calls), paying for the known-good.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it just to sit on the shelf. If your printer runs light volume, the per-page cost can look worse than it should compared with good-value alternatives, and you’ll be tying up cash for months. Also, if you’re already seeing frequent print defects unrelated to the drum (wrong paper type, dirty transfer areas, worn rollers), a drum replacement won’t fix the root cause — you might waste the £199. Bottom line: buy this if you want predictable, trouble-free printing with a compatible Xerox model and you’re actually using the machine regularly; skip it if your usage is sporadic or you suspect a different issue is causing the problem.
