Lexmark C750 Toner Cartridges

Lexmark C750 Printer Review

The Lexmark C750 color laser printer is designed for the small or medium office environment. Its focus is on high quality printing, and its multiple models and expandability can meet different needs.

The Lexmark C750 color laser printer comes in multiple models that can fit varying needs. The C750 is the base model, the C750N adds networking support, the C750DN adds duplexing (two-sided printing) and networking, the C750FN adds finishing options and networking, the C750IN adds ImageQuick technology and networking, and the C750DTN adds duplexing, extra paper capacity and networking. While this many models adds complexity to the buying decision, it also helps buyers avoid paying for options they do not need. Most of these options are also available as upgrades, for buyers who wish to buy a basic model and add upgrades later.

The unit measures 20.8 inches by 23.8 inches by 18.5 inches (HWD) and weighs 105 pounds, which is significantly more than the competition, such as the LaserJet 3550 toner printer. It has a robust 350 mhz processor for handling its own processing, and its initial 64 MB of RAM is expandable to 512 MB for the office with many users, or one that relies on graphics-intensive or large document printing.

Lexmark C750 toner cartridges have a capacity of 6,000 pages for each of its three color laser toner cartridges, and 6,000 pages for the single black printer toner cartridge. The high-capacity toner cartridges have capacities of 15,000 pages each, which is lightyears ahead of HP 3800 toner, and will lower the cost per page, making for a much more economical choice.

Print quality is excellent. The 1200 dpi printing engine produces sharp and detailed text and above average graphics and photo quality, though some color inaccuracies and blockiness shows up in some color prints. Print speed is good, at 20 pages per minute for both color and monochrome, but lags behind some competing units.

Overall, the Lexmark C750 offers excellent print quality in a highly-configurable unit. Slower printing speeds and expensive toner costs are minor drawbacks, and may inspire consumers to look towards the Phaser 6300 toner printer.
