Lexmark E321 Laser Printer Review
Reasonably fast, average print performance make this a solid if uninspiring choice.Available in striking black color the Lexmark E321 offers some solid print performance along with Mac support.


The Lexmark E321 is best as a low volume text only printer
With moderate running costs the Lexmark E321 can't keep up in high volume total cost of ownership comparisons with other laser printers in it's price range such as the HP Laserjet 1300. The Lexmark E321 also pales in comparison with the Laserjet's image print quality. Images printed on the Lexmark E321 look a little dark and murky and grey scale gradients don't look particularly smooth.

With that aside text comes out great with dark well defined letters all the way down to small font sizes.

Here are the specifications:
black: up to 19 ppm
8mb memory (expandable to 72mb)
Total Input Media Capacity 150 sheets (400 fully expanded)
600 dpi x 600 dpi for monochrome documents
Duty Cycle: 1,000 prints/month
With a parallel port and two USB ports and ethernet expansion possible this is a flexible printer. Coupled with Mac support the Lexmark E321 will appeal to some users.

Lexmark E321 Laser Printer, solid fast moderate volume laser printer?
If you don't need high quality image printing and need Mac drivers then the Lexmark E321 laser printer may be exactly what you're looking for.

However if you're in a PC only office and have high volumes or plan on having higher print volumes you may appreciate the lower total cost of ownership offered by competing models from Minolta or HP.
