Pros & Cons
Pros
Laser printers have many advantages over inkjet, the primary of those being print quality and speed. While toner costs more than it would for an inkjet it is in line with other brands and is readily available.
It connects to the major cloud platforms and will easily upload and download with them. Once set up, it works great, even after unplugging, it reconnects automatically.
It pairs well with bluetooth, wifi, and my phone for easy printing.
It is fairly heavy and somewhat noisy but otherwise efficient and economical. It's a little bulky, but then again i'm not planning on moving it anywhere now that it's set up. I'm always on the lookout for the next great tool to make my home office lif... Read More
Run the lexmark app on your smartphone, connect to the printer, and then set up the printer with your home wifi network. We live in a 3-level townhouse, with the printer on the top floor and the primary modem in the lower floor.
Cons
The tray isn't the best solution in the printer industry. Unless you are a computer tech guru, this printer is not easy to set up. All it came with were several pages of pictures showing you how to remove all the tape and packing material.
Lexmark’s app is as useless as that setup app, bare bones, and outdated. They need to either switch to a thumb drive or just tell you where to go to download manuals and let you know to do it online.
Instructions are ridiculous. Not even momentarily. Apparently, it's too hard for me to fathom. Highly advise staying away from this.
It's when you get to needing to type on the keypad that things start going south. The screen does not show you what you pressed! First issue is the password.
Highlights
Quality
I like that they’re upping the quality for home laser printing
This lexmark is a step up from the quality that i’m used to from them
The only reason i dropped a star for print quality is that i tried to print a fullpage poster and it did an admirable job but i... Read More
The print quality is excellent with pretty decent print speed
Price
Is a great value for the money
Finding 3rd party manufacturers at a much lower cost is not east neither for the lexmark
Price is a bit high for this printer but being its new maybe in a few months it will drop
Shipping
This was easy to setup for the most part after taking all the shipping tape off the printer
The printer and the shipping were both great
Competitiveness
A full refill of all toner costs 2x the original price of the printer
The price i paid made the decision to jump to laser a nobrainer
Toner a bit on the expensive side

Youre never going to get the vibrant colors on a laser printer that you would out of an inkjet but if i want to print something im going to hang on the wall im going to go to a print shop anyway

Unfortunately the instructions to set up the printer and begin use of the printer are nonexistent
