I was tired of troubleshooting with HP, so I decided to give in and go with the Lexmark Prevail Pro705. I shopped around and didn't really do much research prior to buying. I knew I wanted to try a new manufacturer and was hoping to get a multi-function unit. I was in an office supply store and asked if Lexmark was comparable to HP quality, and saw for myself that there wasn't a lot of difference in quality. The Prevail Pro705 was the new model at the time of purchase (Oct 14th, 2009). This is my first purchase from Lexmark and I am very pleased. The most appealing things to me about this particular model were the number of features (Fax, Scanner, Copier, Printer), the 5 year warranty, and the slightly lower costs per print than the HP model. The color cartridge claims to get about 200 prints more than the HP 02 color cartridges, so...Read more 47 of 48 people found the following review helpful: By TZ2DSR (somewhere in the middle of USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Lexmark Prevail Pro705 Small Office Wireless Multifunction Inkjet Printer (Office Product) Our "old" Dell printer (which was almost a freebie that was thrown in when we got our office computer) didn't last two years (as I expected). Recently, I went on a pretty detailed search for a new printer, and after spending two days reading all the reviews, this Lexmark Pro705 seemed perfect for our small business office. What I liked: - The setup was really easy! (the hardest part was getting the packing tape off the ink cartridges) - It prints pretty fast. AND the print is really crisp! - It has a nice look to it - it looks like a professional machine. - The fax lets you setup all your contacts by typing info into the computer - this is so much easier than trying to key in data on the fax itself, as many other faxes require. After you set up your contacts, the fax displays them in a nice little scroll list for you. AND you can edit and change your settings at any time by accessing the little handy desktop shortcut. - It has buttons on the...Read more 33 of 33 people found the following review helpful: By Gaart (Palm Springs, CA USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Lexmark Prevail Pro705 Small Office Wireless Multifunction Inkjet Printer (Office Product) I had just "junked" two HP printers and decided it was time to look around for another brand. A friend just bought a Lexmark Pro205 from Amazon; liked it, so decided to look for myself. I saw this printer for $20 more and decided to try it. As usual, Amazon had the best prices on the Net!
Lexmark Prevail Pro705 Small Office Wireless 4-in-1 I received the printer within 3 days. I opened the box, read the instructions and started to install according to their steps. I got to the part where you install the ink cartridges, opened the sealed packages and the top of the cyan cartridge looked like it had either been exposed to high heat or chemically melted. There was no way to remove the protective seal. So had to stop the installation for that evening and call Lexmarks' "hot-line". I called and the automated...Read more |
