New C720N wins top PC Magazine Award

Johannesburg, 04 May 2001

Venture Computer, the sole Southern African distributor for Lexmark International, today announced that the recently introduced C720N colour laser printer had won the prestigious editor`s choice award from PC Magazine.

A few of the excerpts from the review follow, which also highly rated the Lexmark 1200 colour laser printer, giving it 4 out of 5 stars.

"If you don`t print anything larger than legal-size documents, the best choice is the Lexmark C720n. Lexmark`s software simplifies network management and the C720n offers all the paper-handling options a growing business is likely to need. The C720n performed well at PC Magazine Labs, especially on longer more graphics-intensive documents, and it delivered the best output of any colour laser we`ve seen. All this comes at a very reasonable street price.

"The price of the Lexmark C720N is as attractive as its output. Its combination of speed, excellent network management features, and complete paper-handling options make it an Editor`s Choice.

"Printer management was simple using any one of three options available: the client software, the printer`s Web page, or the server application. Management tasks - from monitoring printer status and consumables to upgrading the firmware - can all be accomplished remotely. The system can provide e-mail, visual or audible - words or beeps - alerts for more than 135 events.

"...You can also add an OptraImage scanner attachment, which provides walk-up scan, fax, and copy functions. Perhaps the most intriguing option for the C720 is the ImageQuick SIMM. With this print-on-demand system, any server accessible on your network or Web can store documents and forms. Need a job application form for your company? Walk up to the printer, access the stored form, and print it.

"The C720N`s print quality was the best of the products we tested. Prints showed nearly flawless fills, and photographic images rivalled the quality of some photo ink jet printers."
