Lexmark Pro715 Ink Cartridges

Lexmark Pro715 Printer Review

Tablets and smart phones are becoming increasingly popular, and have even started appearing frequently in the workplace. Users often want to integrate these devices into their workflow, but most printers are not easily compatible. The Lexmark Pro715 is a color inkjet multifunction printer that supports easy integration with mobile devices, and also has the standard features like scanning, copying, and faxing that will make it the document hub of a small office. It even has an impressive printer ink system that uses discrete Lexmark Pro715 ink cartridges for four-color printing.

The reality of a multifunction device is that even though it can accomplish many different tasks, there are often a few that are most often repeated throughout the day. The Pro715 has a number of shortcuts built in, such as "Scan to Email" and "Scan to PDF" that make these tasks quicker and easier to manage, without having to dive into multiple layers of menus.

The starting paper capacity of 150 sheets will probably be a good fit for light-duty use, but an optional paper tray with a 550-sheet capacity can be added to the bottom of the device for a total of 700 sheets to handle more high-volume work. A duplexing option can be enabled for automatic two-sided printing to help conserve paper.

Consumer inkjet models often combine colors when it comes to printer ink, resulting in a lot of waste. The Lexmark Pro715 ink cartridges provide four separate colors instead. This makes replacement of Lexmark Pro715 ink cartridges a bit more of a job, but also makes Lexmark Pro715 ink more cost-effective overall, thanks to the reduced waste.

Even for buyers who don't plan to use the convenient mobile printing support of the Lexmark Pro715, it is still a great buy for its performance and features. These extra features are just adding to its already impressive value.
