Lexmark X750 Toner Cartridges

Lexmark X750 Printer Review

The Lexmark X750 color laser printer is designed for the small or medium office environment. It combines all-in-one features with built-in ethernet networking to make a solid machine that is easy to share.

The Lexmark X750 color laser printer, also known as the X750e, can print, scan, copy, and fax, unlike the Okidata C5100 toner printer, which is a single-purpose unit. It will particularly appeal to buyers looking to replace multiple pieces of equipment with a single device. Each of the functions is well-designed, and most likely perform better than older dedicated machines at each task. For example, the unit supports faxing at Super G3 transmission speeds and has a page memory of up to 100 pages, which can recover incoming faxes that would have been missed when the unit is out of paper. These are features that may not have been available in older fax machines.

Copying and scanning are the two weakest features, due to the limited resolution of the scanning unit. The automatic document feeder and flatbed scanner are both limited to only 300 dpi resolution, which is generally good enough for office use, but not for situations that require very detailed scans. This could be a major drawback for users who require high-quality scanning.

For small-volume printing, the LaserJet 1600 toner printer is a good choice. But with high-volume printing needs, the X750 is great. Each color laser toner cartridge has a capacity of 6,000 pages, with the single black printer toner cartridge at the same capacity. High-yield Lexmark X750 toner cartridges are also available, with a capacity of 15,000 pages each. Toner costs are higher than those of competing models, resulting in a high cost per page.

Print quality is excellent. The 1200 dpi printing engine produces very sharp text and good graphics and photo quality. Colors are accurate with good skin tones. Print speed is a bit slow at 20 pages per minute in both color and monochrome, which is not as fast as the Dell 3110cn toner printer.

Overall, the Lexmark X750 excels at incorporating many functions into one device, but lackluster scanning quality, slow print speeds, and expensive toner may be out of balance with its good points.
