The printer also has a small media card reader for direct prints, as well as an open PictBridge-compatible USB port that you can use to load photos for printing off a USB flash drive. Coupled with a 10,000-page duty cycle, a 150-sheet stack should be enough for a small business. Instead of having just a simple tray like so many others before it, the printer has a silo drawer built into the base that adds more heft and durability to the 150-sheet container. The paper tray sits on the bottom and gives the Pro705 a unique advantage over the competition.
In fact, most of them ship printers with a starter cartridge that contains less ink than the refills you'll need to buy in the future. Lexmark also reduces your ecological footprint with Energy Star certification, and the company even includes an XL-capacity black cartridge in the box-to our knowledge, Lexmark is the only printer vendor to provide this service. Instead of a big touch-screen LCD, the Pro705 opts for a small 2.4-inch color LCD display with a cluster of shortcut feature buttons surrounding it on all four sides, as well as a directional pad for scrolling through menus and a number pad for dialing numbers on the fax side.Īll the new printers from Lexmark include an "Eco Mode" button marked with a green leaf on the right side that triggers two-sided printing, copying, and faxing using the duplexer on the back. Physically, the front of the device is much more involved than the simple touch screen on the Platinum Pro905.
At $200, the affordable and speedy Pro705 will be a helpful office assistant, but we hesitate to recommend it if you're printing a lot of photos. Unlike the consumer-oriented Platinum Pro905, the Lexmark Prevail Pro705 is designed for office use with a button-based control panel, an autodocument feeder (ADF), and other features to encourage smooth business work flow.
