Which Lexmark Printer Is Right For Me? Part 2

Date: August 25, 2010

New York, NY -- Typically you will find on our site single product reviews, or we might mention some alternatives while reviewing a particular item. However, if you at all a visual person, it sometimes helps to see things compared and laid out on a grid. For our second comparison chart, we will examine four printers from Lexmark’s new office series which were released last year. Because these four printers are office-centric, they run a bit more money and offer more features (including lower ink cost). They all have automatic duplexing and 3 of the 4 can be connected to a network for instance.
