The Lexmark S 1650 using Lexmark S 1650 Toner Cartridge was part of Lexmark’s Optra series of laser printers. While this line of printers has since been discontinued, some retailers still sell them online as refurbished or used models. If you think that buying refurbished (or used) is for you, then you might save some money on a decent quality printer (make sure you are comfortable with buying refurbished first, however).

The Lexmark company has been in business ever since is split from IBM in 1991. Now, it is a highly respected company whose customer service and honesty earned them an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Fortune magazine also gave them the honor of #5 as one of the most admired manufacturing companies of computer peripherals.

This printer is a black and white laser printer with a 16 page per minute capability, using Lexmark S 1650 Toner. That might not seem too large for some operations, but it will probably suit the low-volume requirements of many small businesses. If your business depends on high-volume printing to meet the expectations of clients, however, you might want to see if there are any faster printers in your price range.

Unlike its speed, it has a remarkable duty cycle. This Lexmark’s duty cycle is rated at sixty-five thousand pages per month, which is sizable compared to the needs of most small offices. It is also upgradeable to a three thousand-plus tray (although it comes with a three hundred page tray standard).

It has good printing quality for the needs of small business. The S 1650 will print at resolutions as high as 1200 DPI (dots per inch), which is higher than most offices will use for standard printing-even professional printing. It does offer the crisp resolution of 1200 DPI, however, when image quality is especially important. This is good when you are printing some pictures of business graphics like charts and graphs, and you need the output to be great. Reviewers have found that it prints clean, smooth lines and that it completely fills sections of charts and graphs with no gaps. It also is reported to be great and feeding paper so there will be little paper jams.

This printer can be found at some online retailers for fewer than three hundred dollars. In its day the printer went on sale for much more, but it is now an older model and is usually only available as a refurbished or used printer. This might be a great price for you if you don’t mind buying refurbished and you want a near professional-level laser printer designed for small business needs.

The S 1650 Toner Cartridge is still sold at more usual prices, and that now amounts to almost the cost of the printer in some cases. Toner can be expensive, but if you print a lot of documents, you might be able to save some money by looking for a high-capacity toner cartridge. The higher capacity cartridge will print up to seventeen thousand and five hundred pages, while the regular cartridge will print less than half of that–and the high-capacity toner is much less than twice as much as the standard version.

If you are looking for a bargain, the S 1650 with Lexmark S 1650 toner is still available online, if you look hard enough. If the specs above meet what you need, the Lexmark toner and printer are a great deal. Quality toner always makes the best printers better.
