Lexmark Targets the Workgroup with

High-Performance Ink Jet, Laser

On March 22, 2001, Lexmark International, Inc.

(Lexington, KY) introduced the C720 color laser printer and J110

color ink jet printer, both designed for use by business workgroups.

Lexmark will be positioning both printers against the Hewlett-

Packard Color LaserJet 4550. The C720, with a street price of

$1,999, is being billed as a color laser with higher print speeds at

a similar price point (the Color LaserJet 4550 base model is also

available for $1,999). The J110, which costs $899, is offered as

an ink jet alternative to color laser, with equivalent performance

to the HP 4550 at a lower price.

C720

The C720, designed for workgroups of 10 to 20 users, is

available in three configurations: the C720 base model, the C720n,

which has network connectivity, and the C720dn, which features

a duplexing unit. The C720, which resembles Hitachi lasers

(Lexmark would not confirm the engine manufacturer), prints 6

ppm in color and 24 ppm in monochrome (the HP Color LaserJet

prints 4 ppm in color and 16 ppm in monochrome). It is driven by

a 266 MHz MIPS processor, and has 32 MB of RAM. The C720

has a duty cycle rated at 5,000 pages per month, and can handle

as many as 35,000 pages per month, if necessary.

The C720 is based on a 600-dpi print engine, but can simulate

2400-dpi output when printing in 2400 Image Quality mode,

according to Lexmark. The printer also features Lexmarks Photo

Enhancement Technology, which gives prints near-photographic

quality through dithering, Lexmark claims. The C720 supports

PostScript 3, PCL 5, and PCL 6 emulations.

Consumables

The C720 uses four flat, rectangular-shaped toner cartridges.

These load into slots on the front of the printer, where most would

expect to find the manual feed. Each cartridge is keyed,

preventing users from loading cartridges in the wrong position.

Lexmark claims that standard capacity black toner cartridges

yield 5,000 pages (5% coverage) and that color toner cartridges
