The Lexmark Prestige Pro 805 Printer
is the second level printer (right below the Lexmark Platinum Pro905 Printer
in price and value) of their new line of AIO inkjets. It is a 3-1 one machine that has a printer, scanner, and copier. It offers users a maximum print speed of 33 pages per minute for black and white jobs and 30 pages per minute for color jobs. It has built in autoduplexer for double-sided printing.
It does not have a small footprint, measuring 9.83" x 18.31" x 22.88" (H x W x D) with trays extended and weights close to 20 lbs. It's input paper tray will hold up to 150 sheets of paper and has a slim 50-sheet ADF on the top of the machine In terms of ink, the Prestige Pro uses four separate cartridges, all Lexmark 100As in black, cyan, magenta, and yellow. Each of these cartridges also have a high-capacity (XLA) option as well. For both the Prestige and the Platinum, there is black cartridge available that is especially budget friendly, costing a mere $4.99.
It is both PC and Mac compatible and offers a maximum optical resolution of 4800 x 1200 dpi. There are a few notable features that set it apart as well. First, it offers Wireless N connectivity, which increases it's range almost 3 times over competition with Wireless G or B connectivity. It can also be connected to your machine via USB cable or Ethernet. It offers a variety of choices for memory card slots as well as a PictBridge port. The Pro 805 also has an outstanding (and intuitive) touch screen 4.3" LCD. It is also worth mentioning that it and the Pro 905 Printer
have a 1-touch "Eco Mode" that will automatically adjust settings to save energy and paper. If you can do without a built-in fax machine and additional paper tray that come with the Lexmark Platinum Pro905 Printer
, you can save yourself $100 and still have a powerful machine to meet the needs of your home office or small business.
