Advantages: Speed, functionality, robustness Disadvantages: Paper Jams, High Consumable Price, Maintenance

Compared to similar toners from Epson, Cannon and HP, the Lexmark toners yield less and cost more per page. OK, initial outlay is cheaper but you will soon end up regretting the consumables if you print loads.
Add to this the additional costs if I want my printer to Duplex. For those of you that dont know, Duplexing is printing on both sides. Most modern Laser printers are able to cope with this internally. ...
