			What is better, A lexmark Z25 or a lexmark Z31.

		racketboy		Oct 19, 2003
			acording to Amazon reviews, the Z31 is significantly better

			I actually own the z25 it's sitting right next to me. If your looking at a big price difference for minimal gain in quality I'd just get the z25 b/c it works great for me and has good quality. Only had one problem with it ever, just ran the option to clean the print heads and BAMM! Note that I am not a printer genius I just know that my printer works good.

			A printer is one of those things where you really get what you pay for. That being said, I've heard many say that lexmark is like one of the worst brands. After a brief affair with epson I'm back to being an hp printer user (epson printer died 3 weeks after my warranty expired).

			I recommend a Samsung laser unless you NEED color -- will be much cheaper in the long run I bought mine for $150 after rebate about a year ago.

			I have a Lexmark E210 laser which works really good, it is basically a rebranded Samsung though. The only problem with 'bargain' laser printers is that they usually only come with a half full toner cartridge. Most of Lexmark's printers are crap though, but it seems like these days, most consumer printers are crap. I've had Lexmarks, Epsons, and Canons all go to hell on me. Never had a problem w/my old Tektronix or HP printers though. I think Epson still has the best print quality, but all of their low end printers seem to be really flaky, especially since the print heads are part of the printer and not part of the cartridge.

			Printer? That's one component I have yet to buy out of all the years I've owned my own computer.
