Lexmark S315 Ink Cartridges

Lexmark S315 Printer Review

For a machine that consists of a standard office printer, high-tech flatbed scanner and accurate copy machine, the Lexmark S315 has proven to be one of the best options on the market. This inkjet unit offers a number of connection options and special features that will improve overall productivity and quality, while leaving room in the budget for new computers or more comfortable desk chairs. Though it is durable enough to generate up to 7,000 pages per month, it is Lexmark's recommendation for ideal longevity to only print about 500 pages each month.

Black-and-white and full color documents can be printed, copied and scanned with the S315. This ability requires cyan, magenta, yellow and black Lexmark S315 ink, which together can form a depth of millions of colors. The standard-capacity Lexmark S315 ink cartridges, which are the kind supplied in the box upon purchase, can yield up to 200 pages each. This may be sufficient for occasional printing, but offices with larger volumes will want to invest in the high-capacity Lexmark S315 ink cartridges that can produce 700 pages each.

Computers can be connected via USB port, networked through the ethernet interface, hooked directly to a digital camera through PictBridge or used wirelessly. Users can also print from mobile devices such as smart phones and tablets. There is a 2.4 inch LCD that allows editing and enhancement of images without the need for a PC and makes it easy to navigate through the various settings and functions.

The 330 MHz processor transmits data quickly and generates an output speed of 35 black-and-white pages per minute at a maximum resolution of 2400x1200 dpi. Up to 30 pages per minute using all colors of printer ink with an impressive resolution of 4800x1200 dpi. The various types of media that can be printed on also improves the overall quality.
