Lexmark C910 Toner Cartridges

Lexmark C910 Printer Review

The Lexmark C910 color laser printer is designed for the medium or large office environment. Its wide format support, high quality printing, and expandability make it a solid choice for production departments or high-volume offices. For a medium-volume office, look at the HP 3800 toner printer.

The Lexmark C910 color laser printer comes in multiple models with different options to meet different needs. The C910 is the standard model, the C910N adds built-in networking, the C910DN adds automatic duplexing and networking, the C910FN adds finishing options and networking, and the C910IN adds extra paper capacity and networking. Any office that will be sharing the unit among multiple users will want to opt for a model with networking support, as it makes it easy to connect and share it across a network of users. Duplexing will open up more printing options and save paper by printing on both sides of a page.

Standard input paper capacity is 650 sheets, consisting of a 550 sheet standard drawer, and a 100-sheet multipurpose tray. The total paper capacity can be expanded to an impressive 5,300 sheets. The unit's monthly duty cycle of 100,000 sheets means it can handle a high-volume office, whereas the Oki C5150 toner printer can only handle the work load of standard growing businesses.

Lexmark C910 toner cartridges are a little more expensive than the average, making it an expensive unit to own. Each color laser toner cartridge has a capacity of 14,000 pages, as does the black printer toner cartridge. High-yield versions are available, with a capacity of 28,000 pages per cartridge.

Print quality is some of the best available, due to the 2400 dpi printing engine for extra sharp prints in both color and monochrome. Print speed is a little slower than some competing units, but still quite good, at 28 pages per minute in both color and monochrome.

Overall, the Lexmark C910 impresses with its excellent print quality. Its multiple configurations let buyers choose the features they need most, but high laser toner costs give it a high cost of ownership.
