Compare Prices : Lexmark C 500n

Review summary: Lexmark offers up an entry-level Laser printer with decent mono performance, but less astounding colour performance.

Verdict: This is a reasonable entry-level colour laser printer, which handles most business documents well. Lexmark describes it as a monochrome laser which can also print colour and this is a fair way of selling it. Colour print is slower and quite a bit more ...

Pros: Fast text printing, low price, extra 530-sheet tray costs only $260

Cons: No manual paper tray, no option for a duplexer

Verdict: Lexmark's budget-priced colour laser delivers fast, high-quality text. Albeit without the option for a duplexer, but you can increase your paper tray to a 530-sheet tray for an additional cost.

Review summary: Based on the same engine used to power the popular Lexmark c500 family of colour lasers, the x502n is a robust multifunction device from a respected manufacturer. But it's not particularly cheap and leaves a lot ...

Verdict: Based on a proven colour laser printer engine, the Lexmark x502n is a robust and capable multi-function printer that will save money compared to buying separate dedicated devices. It's also relatively cheap to run, but we didn't find it as easy to use ...

Review summary: The Lexmark X502n combines fast, high-quality output with most of the features a small office needs--once you learn how to use them.

Pros: Fast. High-quality output. Printer ; scanner ; standalone fax machine, copier, and e-mail sender

Cons: Can't fax from PC. Lacks instructions for key features

Verdict: The Lexmark X502n offers an impressive combination of speed, output quality, and features but lacks the fine attention to detail that would make it an unequivocal winner.
