Lexmark may not be the first name you think of when you consider purchasing a new printer for home or at work. They are not what I would consider to be one of the "big names" in printer. 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.

Advantages: Printer quality will lost for many many years
Disadvantages: please check my Drawbacks list with this printer:
