Lexmark X654de — Product Review

November 18th, 2008
Lexmark X654de

Lexmark X654de

The Lexmark X654e is definately an interesting device for people used to spending $10,000 on a copier.  Some of the basic features in this product are 55 pages per Minute printing and scanning, standard fax, standard print, duplex scanning, duplex printing…  With this many features, one would think that it would be hard to use…  surprisingly though, it is quite simple.  Plus there is a cool color touch screen.  The cost per print is also very reasonable.

Who this is good for:

Offices or departments with up to 25 people

Uses who will do 15,000 pages a month or less

Users who value an easy to use interface

Who this device is wrong for:

Users who need tabloid printing

Users who need color printing

Users doing more than 15,000 pages per month

This is a great value for companies looking to reduce their copier costs without losing a ton of functionality.

How Small Color Copiers Can Make You Miserable

November 8th, 2008

Often when dealing with customers here in the Denver area, I get this question… “What color device do you have that is less than $1,000 and works really well?” Unfortunately, with these types of devices, you are not shooting for what works well, but just for what works…at all…

The problem is now you are buying a device really cheap which has 13+ consumable items and tons of moving parts.  Getting one which works is doable…  one that works great, has a simple interface, and is cost effective…  that does not exist yet.

The choice you’ll have to make is which 2 of these do you want?

* Cheaper printing

* Ease of Use

* Reliability

* Durability

You will generally only get 2 of the 4.  At this point in the market, if you can avoid buying a copier which is under $1,000… I would avoid it.  They cause more headaches than they are worth, they are expensive and still a pain to use.
