The good: Fast black text and graphics prints; excellent text handling; good graphics prints; inexpensive.

The bad: High consumables cost; limited functionality; no duplexer; nonexpandable memory.

The bottom line: The Lexmark C500n is a fast color laser printer fit for a multiuser environment with high-volume printing needs. The competition offers more features, but slower printing or lower-quality prints.
