Lexmark IJ700 Ink Cartridges

Lexmark IJ700 Printer Review

What kind of printer is the best kind? Is it a high-volume laser printer that can bang out 30-40 pages per minute? Or is it a standard-capacity inkjet printer with slower speeds but more precise images. The Lexmark IJ700 is as basic as it gets, offering color printing and virtually no other features. There is a low printer ink alert that informs users when it is time to replace the two Lexmark IJ700 ink cartridges. These replacements can be found from the manufacturer or online.

When only using black Lexmark IJ700 ink, only 2-3 pages per minute can be produced and it can take over 2 minutes to print a full page of color. As far as speed is concerned, these numbers are pretty bad. Anyone in need of efficiency will definitely want to look elsewhere. However, for home users with little need for speed, the IJ700 should suffice.

There are two Lexmark IJ700 ink cartridges, one black and one tricolor, which consist of yellow, magenta and cyan printer ink. These tanks can produce a resolution of 1200x1200 dpi, which is rather impressive for such an affordable inkjet unit. All things considered, the speed and resolutions are not the best, but they certainly make the IJ700 a perfect printer for anyone looking to create professional quality text documents and realistic color photos.

Replacement Lexmark IJ700 ink is available from the manufacturer. It is also available online from third party vendors in compatible and remanufactured versions. These tanks are less than half the price of the OEM, which will save users hundreds of dollars throughout the life of the IJ700. Lexmark also provides helpful software that automatically cleans up images and guides users through the steps of enhancing photos. There are certainly better options out there, but for the low price and good quality of the IJ700, it is hard to beat.
