CNET editors' buying advice

We have not reviewed this product but here is CNET's buying advice on Laser Printers. This content was chosen based on the features included with this model of laser printer.

Corporate cog

If you need a workhorse that can keep up with your small business or team within a larger organization, a workgroup laser printer is an obvious choice. Designed to juggle multiple print jobs, these systems have faster processors, more memory, and print engines that are capable of churning out more than 20 pages per minute. But these $400-and-up printers are more than souped-up personal lasers; they offer workgroup features, such as network printing, high-capacity toner cartridges, and larger paper input and output trays.

CNET product brief

Description: The Lexmark C534dn is a 24 ppm, color laser printer.Compared to other color lasers on the market, it is relatively inexpensive at around $580.This unit features 1200dpi.

Pros: This printer supports color at a resolution of 1200 dpi x 1200 dpi.This printer can be plugged directly into a LAN, so it can serve as its own print server.This unit also supports duplex printing, which allows you to print on both sides of a page in a single pass.At 625 MHz this printer has a fast processor, which speeds up the printing of complex documents such as images.(A fast processor allows complex documents to be translated into printed graphics and text at a faster rate.)

Cons: None noted, given available product data.

Suitability: A color laser printer, suited for printing images, presentations, as well as documents in color.This printer can handle legal (8.5 in x 14 in) and A4 (8.25 in x 11.7 in) documents.

Value: In general, this laser printer's features are in line with its price.
