Ranked #64,710 in Computers & Electronics, #1,006,061 overall

In this review we will be looking at the Lexmark Optra T642 printer using Lexmark T642 printer toner cartridges. If you are new to the world of printers you might be scared by the huge variety of options you have to choose from. Even if your budget is very small, there are still a plethora of models you can decide on, with many different options.  

Print Quality Documents

The key when buying a product in such a competitive market is to decide what features you really need and which are just expensive gadgets you will never use. This is especially important in the printer market because they include all kind of special features you might have no use for, as well as ones that could save you a lot of time. For instance, if you are looking for a new printer you need to ask yourself if you need ink jet, laser, monochrome, or color.

The best advice is to spend a few minutes deciding what it is exactly that you need from your printer. Are you going to be using it as a large office printer? Are you going to need color printing? Is laser or ink jet better for you? What volume of paper are you going to be dealing with? How fast do you need your printer to be to keep up with you or your workgroup? Are networking capabilities important for you? Do you need wireless connections? Your answer to all of these questions will narrow down your selection and give you a clearer view of what options fit your requirements.

The Lexmark T642 is a great example of a printer that provides all the basic requirements very well. It is fast, it provides high quality images at a great resolution, and it handles large volumes of paper with a big sheet paper capacity tray.

The processor is set at 457 MHz, which makes printing complex images a breeze. It also allows you to send multiple jobs to the printing queue without the printer overloading. However, you will not find other features that are becoming popular, like duplex printing or an attached smart stapler.

The good news is that Lexmark has created many accessories that can be added to this printer if you are willing to pay the extra cost. This way you only pay for the accessories you need without having to compromise on high performance in the areas you are most interested in.

This printer is, as we mentioned above, fast, producing 45 pages per minute and providing 2,400 dpi using Lexmark toner cartridges.

These are great features for such an inexpensive printer. If you are in the market for a dedicated monochrome printer you should really think about checking out the Lexmark Optra T642 printer.

The cost-effectiveness of this printer extends to the Optra T642 cartridges, especially when doing a search for Lexmark Optra compatible toners online.  You will find many reputable vendors who offer printer toners at a price every user will find fits their budget.
