Differences between the 2 are very insignificant to some but not to others. Its basically that the T642 has a 500 Sheet Paper drawer built in as opposed to the 250 Sheet drawer on the T640.

People normally think of Cannon, Epson and HP. However, this is a very robust manufacturer for office and home printing solutions, if a little expensive on consumables. Reason for purchase. This printer is actually recommended by our software supplier as it is ...
...the high Yield toners from Lexmark and these will set you back between £160-£200 each. Very pricey and lets the printer down badly. However for this you do get your 30,000+ pages of print easily. Fitting is quite straightforward but again you need to open 2 doors to fit it and remember to close them in the right order! The times i have not and then needed to open it all up again. Remember it is a monotone printer so you only need to buy black ink ... Read review

The problems that i had was after i set everything up, and was about to test print my first few CDs, the printer said something was blocking the printer head.
