Two great features:
(1) Quality is fabulous. It prints great detail like lace clothing in photos. It prints best metalic colors I have seen from a color laser printer. Color balance is excellent too.
(2) Totally silent in standby mode! You don’t even know it’s on.
It does seem to take a little slow (a minute or so) to process large images compared to big office color lasers. Probably the same as other color lasers in its class.

I just spent two hours with Lexmark tech support regarding printing in Black and White using the Mac OX Driver. They have told me in no uncertain terms, that you can only do this with a Windows driver. SO the cost of my consumables just went way up.
Unlike the previous reviewer, duplex printing is insanely fast. He might want to try printing at 1200 DPI instead.
If someone figures how to print in black and white, post a review and i’ll send you my email address. thanks in advance. richard

I was very impressed with the speed and quality of the color printing when using the standard page sizes. However, when I added the 650 page add on tray in order to get the statement sized paper feeder, (5.5″ X 8.5″), the printing slows down to about 8 – 10 ppm. I have been in contact with Lexmark regarding this issue, nothing that I have tried has helped the speed, and I have the feeling that this is simply the best it will do. I still think it is the best printer for the money, but if a business expected to use the statement feeder for volumes of printing, they would be quite disappointed.

After a reload of the OS, my old HP laser was no longer compatible with my Mac computer, so I went looking for a color laser that did duplex printing (trying to be a bit green). My use is at home for personal as well as some business printing.
The set up was easy and the instructions clear. Printing in B&W single sided is fast and of high quality. I find the color printing to be a bit muted and not photo-like, but still acceptable. The biggest negative is the duplex printing. It works, but… When I select two-sided printing, it takes forever to print. It is so slow that I have given up using it completely. As I was hurrying out of the house on a road trip, I tried to print a Google map in duplex, and it took so long I simply left the house without the map. I don’t know what is going on inside, but this is so bad I’m shocked it ever was released.
Once I ignore duplex printing, and treat it like a nice feature I will rarely if ever use, then I am generally satisfied with the printer and recommend it for the price.
