  Strengths: I was really impressed with this printer, for a very short time. It prints a heck of a lot faster than my old cheap multi-function machine. It is so big and heavy that I thought it would last forever. I am a small company that doesn't print a lot, but I wanted something that I could depend on for a long time. According to what I read, lasers are a lot cheaper per page than an ink jet to operate. I feel like I was duped.

  Weaknesses: I haven't printed 500 sheets, and I had to buy black ink ( over $100 ). Now the machine is telling me I need to buy the other 3 colors at $120 each. When I asked Lexmark about this, they said all printers are shipped with "starter ink cartridges", and they don;t even offer a reduced price when buying all 3 colors at the same time

  Overall Evaluation: I think Lexmark is scamming everybody, and they think we are too dumb to say anything about it. They can offer their printer a little cheaper by cutting on the ink cartridges, ( cause they figure they got you anyway, since you have to buy their ink ) I am trying to find a way to fill the ink cartridges myself, and never give them any more of my money.

  Strengths: Printouts fine.

  Weaknesses: Prints less than 40% of 1,500 printouts as is stated on website before toner is out.

  Overall Evaluation: Very poor rating from me. Customer Service from Lexmark was TERRIBLE..Trying to give the run around! The website states for the C522n "Ships with 1,500 starter cartridge for both color and black.
