Lexmark OfficeEdge Pro5500 Pro Reviews

We might have expected a printer in this price range to be a little faster (the US price is considerably lower, even taking VAT into account). Even so, the OfficeEdge Pro5500 is a sturdy and versatile multifunction printer that will particularly appeal to workgroups who need to produce a wide range of different documents each month.

A huge, expensive desktop device, but it offers low running costs, a great interface and decent output

When Lexmark had me down to their offices in Lexington for a sneak peek at these new office inkjets, my first thought was "been there, done that". I mean, how many manufacturers – including Lexmark – have released inkjets targeted at businesses with claims of cost savings and laser quality prints? Well, I’m admitting I was wrong. The OfficeEdge Pro5500 is one of the first business inkjets that I think will actually serve as a laser-class replacement for small to medium sized businesses. Businesses will get the same quality features, prints and more from the OfficeEdge Pro5500 as they would from a lower end color laser MFP. This is why I’m giving the lexmark OfficeEdge Pro5500 the PrinterComparison Editor’s Choice Award! The OfficeEdge Pro5500 offers customers great print quality, laser competitive print speeds, a bevy of business centric features, unique software and solutions and truly high capacity ink cartridges that rival the page yield of toner cartridges. And while you’ll be spending as much on the OfficeEdge Pro5500 - $399.99 for the base model – as you would on a laser class color MFP, you’ll be saving on energy and consumable costs over the long run. I would recommend comparing the OfficeEdge Pro5500 with any color laser MFP in its class when looking to purchase a new printer for your office.

The Lexmark OfficeEdge Pro5500 Color MFP offers laser-class speed, an ample feature set, great text for an inkjet, and low running costs.

The Lexmark OfficeEdge Pro5500 sets a high bar for business inkjets, with scan speeds even more outstanding than its print speeds, and very few shortcomings otherwise. The real worriers should be those competitors that make low-end color laser printers, which are often slower and universally have more-expensive toner.
