Clearly, that distinction is unique among inkjet printers, most of which are sold at or near a loss so that the manufacturer can recoup expenses on the sale of (extremely) high-margin replacement cartridges. So, does that feature make this printer worth the purchase? Perhaps...but perhaps not. > Why? Sure, the black cartridge retails for $5, but the three color cartridges will set you back more than $50. Thus, your savings (and cost per copy) will very much depend on your usage. If you are careful to print and copy in black and white, then this printer will likely prove to be quite inexpensive for you - approximately 1 cent per page given that the black cartridge is rated for 500 average pages of text. On the other hand, if you print a mix of materials, your cost per page could actually be more than competing inkjets.

I have previously owned the Cannon Pixma 850 after three years it stopped working. I went a few days ago to purchase the Canon Pixma 870 from Staples. Had in my cart when I happened by this printer. Immediately I was impressed. I run a small office and this printer caught my eye for several reasons.
1. Black ink cartridges are 5$ a piece. You can print 500 pages for 5$. That is an incredible bargain. 2. Unlike other printers it carries a five year warranty. 3. It has fantastic power saver features. As I started using the device to scan, make copies, fax over the next few days it all just worked. Queitly and without problems it perfectly made color copies that were barely distinguishable from the source. The fax software installed on desktop without a hitch and was able to send a fax with no difficulty. It was quick easy to set up works wirelessly. I use to...Read more 58 of 62 people found the following review helpful: By This review is from: Lexmark Pinnacle Pro901 All-in-One Printer (Office Product) Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?) This is a very nice business focused printer.
As soon as you open the box, you realize you are opening a business oriented multi function print device. No questions about it and it is a nice feeling to open it. In the box you receive: Printer USB cable Telephone cable 3 print cartridges (all required for printing) Quick setup, network setup, Quick Reference Guide, Fax Setup and warranty information Cloth (to clean finger prints off the touch screen I suppose) Software CD My first impression looking through the documentation is that it doesn't seem as though any of the documentation tells you how to remove the printer from the box. Yes, it's a pretty simple process and takes little to no effort, but usually they try and make these things as simple as possible for everyone who uses computers (beginners to pros). Strange. As I wasn't sure if the unboxing procedure was included on the...Read more |
