By Steve Bass<\/p>\n

I think we’ve got the razor-blade method of marketing printers figured out: Sell the printer for a couple of bucks, then gouge and exploit us on cartridges. I hate it.<\/p>\n

Lexmark makes its money the old-fashioned way. It sells printers at higher-than-competitor’s printers, but then sells the ink cartridges at reasonable prices.<\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/strong><\/a>Pay the Big Bucks <\/strong>
\nI tried the Lexmark Prestige Pro805<\/a> multifunction printer for over a month (I won’t review something unless I have decent hands-on time, despite howling from the PR people). <\/p>\n

\nAmazon<\/a> discounts the Lexmark Prestige Pro85 for $200, which is about what others discount<\/a> it for. The Pro85 uses four single-ink cartridges. When purchasing directly from Lexmark<\/a>, you’ll pay $5 for black and $10 for color. Shipping is free and Lexmark’s recycling program<\/a> gives you two free cartridges for every five you buy and return empty in a year. <\/p>\n

Lexmark claims you can get 510 standard pages from one black cartridge. What’s standard? you might ask (nope, I don’t know). Is anyone willing to put this to the test (besides HP, Epson, and Brother, who as far as I know, haven’t)? Okay, so we’re going to have to take Lexmark’s word for it. <\/p>\n

If you register the printer, the warranty period is extended to five years. I have no clue how to judge the value, except to say only a few of the inkjet printers I’ve used have lasted that long — so I guess that’s saying something. You also get toll-free access to tech support for the life of the printer.<\/strong>
\n  
\n<\/strong><\/a>Lexmark’s Specs<\/strong>
\nThe Pro85 is a color inkjet printer with a flatbed scanner, a copier function, and an automatic document feeder that holds up to 50 sheets of paper. (That came in handy for when I had to copy scads of docs for my parents.) If you need fax capabilities, try the cheaper Prevail Pro705<\/a> (it doesn’t have an LCD display).  <\/p>\n

<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>\"\"
\n<\/strong>Lexmark all-in-one is economical and smart.<\/strong>\n<\/p>\n

<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n

The paper tray holds 150 sheets. The printing speed is 10 pages per minute for black and 6 ppm for color; the Pro85 does two-sided printing and prints at 2400- by 1200 dots per inch in black and 4800-by-1200 dpi in color.<\/p>\n

The Pro850 has both USB and memory card ports — you can print directly from either. The other way around works, too: Scan and save as a photo, document, or PDF directly to a flash drive or to your PC.<\/p>\n

There are three ways to connect the printer to your PC: wireless, USB, or networked through an Ethernet connection. <\/p>\n

<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong><\/strong><\/a>Hands on the Lexmark <\/strong>
\nI gauge the value of a product using two criteria: Would I shell out the bucks for one? What would I say if you wrote and asked for a recommendation?<\/p>\n

How Did the Lexmark Stack Up?<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
