As Lexmark points out, if you frequently print in color, the cost of supplies can be hard to swallow, and bills the X782eXL as a remedy that lets high-volume workgroups print in color without worrying about the cost of consumables. According to the company, its unique cartridge pricing helps save money and time by printing professional color documents in-house. Although color toner cartridges usually cost more than black toners, all original Lexmark XL high yield toner cartridges, including cyan, yellow and magenta, which cost the same as black cartridges.

"The equipment isn't the big cost," said Billie Bryant, president and CEO of Dallas-based CESCO. "Supplies like toners are very expensive."

The X782eXL can print up to 35 pages per minute in color, 40 per minute in black, with the first page out in 13 seconds. This MFP also provides security to protect data and devices and includes a numeric pad for secure PIN release of print jobs.
