Lexmark MX610 Toner Cartridges

Lexmark MX610 Printer Review

The Lexmark MX610 multifunction laser printer can reach impressive speeds of up to 50 pages per minute, yet it is not overly expensive. It lacks faxing, but its full-color 7-inch touchscreen display is an easy way to control the print, scan, and copy functions. Lexmark MX610 printer toner is available in multiple capacities, and advanced features like mobile printing are included as well.

The MX610 is also referred to as the MX610DE due to its gigabit ethernet port and automatic duplex printing. The unit's design is pretty simple, and its footprint of 19.3x18.9 inches won't take up too much space. It weighs 52 pounds, even without the Lexmark MX610 toner installed, however, so users may require some help to move it. A flatbed scanning surface is included, as well as a 50-sheet automatic document feeder for quickly scanning multi-page documents.

Unlike the similar MX611 models, this unit doesn't come with an internal hard drive for document storage, but it is available as an upgrade. Its input paper capacity of 650 sheets can also be upgraded to a maximum of 2,300 sheets for larger workloads. Mobile printing from many popular devices is supported through custom applications, and the touchscreen menu can save shortcuts and workflows to help save users time.

Since it is monochrome, only a single Lexmark MX610 toner cartridge is require, and replacement toners are fairly affordable. With three capacities of Lexmark MX610 toner cartridges available, buyers can choose between the one with the lowest purchase price or the one with the largest capacity, and therefore, the lowest cost per page.

For the mid-sized office that doesn't need color capabilities, the Lexmark MX610 could be an excellent choice. It has just the right mix of features right out of the box, with optional upgrades to expand its capabilities later down the road.
