These printers are engineered to meet diverse printing needs while ensuring cost-effectiveness and ease of use.

The Lexmark C522 is characterized by its compact design that fits seamlessly into any office environment. With a maximum print resolution of up to 2400 x 600 dpi, it produces sharp and vibrant color documents.
