Affordable quality color printing has long been beyond the economic reach of the typical small business. While some have turned to high-cost printing services, others have been shocked at the prices of consumables when relying on Inkjet-based technology. Lexmark hopes to solve both cost and quality problems with the Lexmark C510 color laser printer.
The C510 offers both speed and economy to small businesses. Rated at 30 ppm for monochrome and 8 ppm for color, the diminutive unit should meet the needs of most small businesses. The unit uses a four-pass process to print color, but prints monochrome with a single pass, which explains the speed differences between color and monochrome printing.
The Lexmark C510 has a fast warm-up cycle and an energy-saving mode, making it feasible to leave it on 24x7 without impacting a business’s electric usage or wasting time with a lengthy startup. At just $699, the Lexmark 510 color printer proves to be a bargain.
