Great Value Printer for a small businesses
Date of Review: Jun 2, 2007
The Bottom Line: Get this printer, it's a great value for any office or small business.
I am a small business owner/entrepreneur, and it was time to look for a color laser printer that can produce not just documents, but images and brochures/flyers. I don't want to spend thousands on a color laser printer, and thanks to these budget color lasers, I am able to keep my startup costs low. I did some online research before purchasing this Lexmark printer. One minor note: it is very heavy and bulky, but so far it hasn't given me any problems, and I haven't had to replace the toner cartridges yet. Lexmark comes with cartridges that are good for 1000 pages, I'll update this review once I reach that. Higher capacity toner cartridges are available. My second choice was the OKIData, which is a one-pass color laser (each cartridge has its own print drum) which makes color printing faster, but the cartridges reflect a higher cost of replacement. Anyhow, I saw the OKI at a local OfficeMax store and it was smaller and lighter than the Lexmark. It would have been a good choice as well. However, after doing some online research to compare different laser color printers, I decided to order the Lexmark online. It was surprising that I couldn't find it in any local store, I would have wanted to see the unit and a printout demo. Anyhow, there are plenty of reviews online, so I went ahead and ordered one from Superwarehouse. They had fast shipping and excellent service for the price. I found the Lexmark to be reliable in producing good quality color sales sheets and forms for my new business, www.DiscEraser.com
