Re: Lexmark

I tried to post a comment on that page but got errors.....so I'll just paste it here. Mwahahahaha!

"I do not work directly for Lexmark but I do support them via another company. From what I have heard, they do ship less than full cartridges with their printers. It wouldn't surprise me if the difference in model numbers is simply a difference in ink levels. When it comes to making printers for personal users, I think we can all agree that they suck. If you look at it from a business perspective, they can sell cheap printers to you for a few reasons. Eventually you will need to buy more ink which is pricey, and then there's the fact that eventually your printer will flounder and maybe you will buy another one from them because it's so cheap. I think it's fair to say that direct printer sales to personal users probably only makes up a small percentage of their business. I don't have the numbers in front of me but I know they pull in big bucks selling high-end printing solutions to other companies. Then there's the deal they have with Dell. Don't be fooled by that Dell logo. Those are Lexmark printers they're selling.

I've only owned one Lexmark printer in my life and I wouldn't recommend them for personal printing. Now if you want a high-end laser printer for your business, then maybe.....if you can stomach it."
