Compare Prices : Lexmark C532dn

Verdict: A solid workgroup printer with a good turn of speed, but could do better for general output quality.

Review summary: Lexmark inkjets may be cheap and cheerful, but its laser printers are serious bits of kit.

Verdict: This is a good colour workhorse for a small office or a workgroup within a larger organisation. Its black and colour output is well above average and although it's slightly fiddly to maintain, it's quick and relatively inexpensive to run.

Pros: Fast prints ; excellent print quality ; built-in duplexer ; network-ready ; separate photoconductor means less waste ; expandable on-board memory

Cons: Text LCD isn't backlit ; C530dn model doesn't have expandable paper handling options ; color handling could use some minor improvements ; lacks straight pass-through printing

Verdict: With fast speeds and impressive print quality, the Lexmark C530dn is a great color laser printer for the price. We prefer it over a more expensive color printer from the competition.
