The Lexmark T650n, priced at $699, is the ultimate printing device for small offices and workgroups. The printer’s very fast speed, plus plenty of paper handling options make it an indispensible tool. The T650n is built around 45 pages per minute engine. The printer has a 350 sheet standard input capacity, which is divided between a 250-sheet drawer and a 100-sheet multipurpose tray. Extensions to the printer, like adding a duplexer, can make it to handle substantial input capacities of the order of 4,000 sheets.

The Lexmark T650n printer measures 13.7 by 16.7 by 19.4 inches. The printer is quite heavy at around 40 pounds. The printer can be simply plugged in and made to run an automated installation routine. The printer is capable of supporting Vista and Mac OS 10.2. The Lexmark Web site also offers download of drivers for Windows 95, 98, 98SE, ME, NT 4.0, Mac OS 9.2, and Linux.

The T650n’s print quality for graphics and photos is absolutely amazing. It is an excellent output device for business use. The text quality from the printer is excellent with the printer recognizing, reading, and forming almost all types of text fonts. The graphics of the printer are very good for any kind of internal business use. The printer retains thin lines of the graphics exceptionally well. A downside here is that sometimes, there is a tendency that few gradients look like smudges instead of looking smooth. There is also a visible fussy dithering in the form of mild patterns. That is why the printer is an excellent tool for internal business use. The user will think twice about using the output of this printer for an important external client. The printer effectively prints recognizable images from web pages with photos.

A very good feature of this printer is that it claims reasonably low 1.6-cent cost per page. So, the user does not have to worry about the paper cost much. In a nut shell, with its good performance and able paper handling, the Lexmark T650n is the ultimate printing device for small offices and workgroups.
