Lexmark X500n color laser multifunction

(7/3/07)
Summary: Read the full review
Verdict: Although it's missing some fax features that many small offices and work groups find useful, the Lexmark X502n produces fast, high-quality prints. This is one laser multifunction that has a lot going for it.
Pros: ; Produces high-quality prints very quickly; low print costs; network ready; built-in ADF.
Cons: ; No junk fax blocker or secure fax receive mode; no way to save fax groups; walk-up scanning is not enabled with USB connections; grayscale scanning needs some improvement.

Lexmark C500n


Summary: Tune into TV advertising and you'd think that most of the business world is running on Lexmark printers. Unlike some of Lexmark's flimsier inkjet printers, the C500n has a real business-like feel to it with seemingly rock-solid build quality.
