Lexmark C734 Toner Cartridges

Lexmark C734 Printer Review

The Lexmark C734 is one of many models in this manufacturer's line of color laser workgroup printers that can meet medium volume needs. Additional models include the C734N and C734DN, which offer bonus features like networking and even a duplexer for the latter. Every unit is capable of fast print rates of up to 30 pages per minute for monochrome and color, but each model increases in cost as the extra features are added, so users should know what they want from their printer before purchasing.

With a maximum monthly duty cycle of 85,000 pages and an average of less than 10,000 pages, the C734 is geared to fit well for medium volumes in fast-paced environments. Expandable features like its maximum paper handling capacity of 3,750 sheets can help the C734 keep up with large numbers of users. Optional upgrades for media handling include a 2,000 sheet high-capacity paper feeder in addition to the standard 300-sheet bin and 100-page multipurpose tray.

One feature that sets the C734 apart from typical workgroup printers in its class is the PictBridge interface that offers direct photo printing from cameras. Additional connection options include a USB and bi-directional Parallel interface. To further cement this unit as a top-of-the-line color office printer, it includes technology to automatically monitor and adjust Lexmark C734 printer toner use, to both enhance quality and conserve supplies.

With individually packaged toners and the availability of compatible versions, users can decrease waste and cut the amount spent on replacements. For cyan, magenta and yellow Lexmark C734 toner cartridges, users can print approximately 4,000 pages of graphics and photos before each expire. Its black supply can yield up to 8,000 pages and handle frequent black-and-white text jobs.

In terms of laser models, the C734 presents a durable design that leaves very little to complain about, including a number of upgradable features. The possibility for networking and cost-efficient Lexmark C734 toner cartridges make this an affordable option for medium or large shared workgroups.
