When compared to “bargain brands” Lexmark excels in every category. You can trust them not fail you straight out of the box, resulting in a frustrating resend and repurchase from your vendor. Lexmark cartridges will not run out on you before giving you the quality number of pages stated on the package. You can always trust that the images you will get from a Lexmark cartridge will be top quality, every time, with no misfires. Compare the peace of mind, increased productivity and savings you will get from using a genuine Lexmark printer cartridge, and it is easy to see that the “bargain brands” are really no bargain at all.
