Lexmark CX510 Toner Cartridges

Lexmark CX510 Printer Review

The Lexmark CX510 is a multifunction color laser printer designed for mid-size workgroups, with a large full-color touchscreen that makes printing, scanning, copying, and faxing simple. It can reach speeds of up to 32 pages per minute, and the cost per page of Lexmark CX510 printer toner is easy on the budget.

The models included in the series are the CX510DE base model, and the CX510DHE and CX510DTHE models that include an internal hard drive and an upgraded paper capacity. All three models feature duplexing as a standard feature, and include the same e-Task 7-inch touch screen with bright icons and excellent control features. There is also a front USB port for connecting flash drives and other storage devices, and users can preview images and documents on the screen before printing.

The maximum output resolution is true 1200x1200 dpi for excellent print quality. The first page out time of 11.5 seconds for color is a little on the slow side, but should only be an issue in an extremely busy office. Duplex printing can help to reduce paper costs by as much as 50%, and there is an Eco mode available that reduces the amount of Lexmark CX510 toner used per page, to help trim the cost of replacement toners.

Four Lexmark CX510 toner cartridges are required, and users can choose between different capacities that can provide from 2,000 pages to 8,000 pages. This helps smaller offices avoid paying high upfront costs for Lexmark CX510 toner cartridges, while larger offices can get the lowest cost per page.

The large touchscreen interface of the Lexmark CX510 is certainly its standout feature, but its reliable operation, print speed, and low running costs will be the factors that may matter more over time. This machine makes a good fit for the mid-sized office, and upgrade possibilities provide extra room to grow.
