Lexmark E340 Review
Editor's Review
Lexmark E340 by writer 10/18/2010 OVERVIEW:
The Lexmark E340 Laser Printer is a powerful mono printer, providing amazing speeds and precise resolutions. The speed is up to 30 pages per minute and the resolution is 1200 x 1200 dots per inch, assuring every printed document will be crisp and sharp. You can add additional RAM memory, paper capacity and even get connected with it through wireless Ethernet. The printer is compact and affordable, fits every home desk or small office and delivers professional-looking documents.
Editor's Pros & Cons
PROS: Laser printers are usually the best option for small organizations because of the high printing speed, low costs and efficiency. This model is not expensive, being the bottom end of Lexmark's range in business printing terms. Compared to its rival, the HP 1320, the Lexmark E340 is more affordable, powerful, compact and even looks better, with those squad Humvee lines and black and grey casing.
CONS: One of the few cons we found is that the Lexmark E340 can't be easily found at a reseller in the UK, so the only options are to get it from the US or from Lexmark directly. Sure, cartridges are easy to be found in the UK, but the HP 1320 has the upper hand here. Some people might just consider buying the HP because they will have it delivered to ones home or business faster. With most of the managers picking printers and office devices on brand loyalty, it will be difficult for the Lexmark E340 to become as successful as its competitor.
INK/TONER NEEDS:
The replacement cartridge for this printer should be a 34035HA Black Toner, which will be good for around 6,000 pages. Note that this is a high-yield laser toner cartridge, so it will also be more expensive than the normal one. The standard toner cartridge the printer will come with, number 24035SA, will be enough for around 2,500 pages.
