      3-year warranty on our own-brand cartridges
      We are proud of our own-brand cartridges, so we’ve made trying them a no-brainer. If within three years of purchase you have any problem whatsoever, we’ll happily offer either a replacement or a refund.
      Returning items is easy—it takes just a few minutes. But our return rate is very low, so you’ll be unlikely to need it.
      We are confident that no other own-brand cartridges are better than ours. They produce vibrant prints with accurate colour densities and dark blacks—and their page yields are as good as the genuines, if not better. Give them a try, and see why our customers love them.
      Our own-brand cartridges are incredibly reliable for three reasons:
      1. We are the UK’s biggest seller of own-brand cartridges, and we have invested a lot in optimising them.
      2. We are dedicated to quality. Every own-brand cartridge is performance-tested before it leaves the factory.
      3. We constantly monitor customer feedback, and quickly resolve any issues.
    • Printer protection guarantee
      Our cartridges won't damage your printer—guaranteed
      Some people worry that own-brand cartridges might damage their printers. We know from experience that ours don’t.
      To reassure you, we guarantee that we’ll repair or replace your printer—for free—in the unlikely event that it gets damaged by an own-brand cartridge. This is regardless of how old your printer is. We can afford to offer this because problems are almost unheard of.
      Some people whose printers are less than a year old worry that an own-brand cartridge might invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty. This isn’t true. By law, the manufacturers aren’t allowed to invalidate your warranty if you use own-brand cartridges. If something does go wrong, and our own-brand cartridges are to blame, we’ll take over the manufacturer’s warranty, offer you phone support and repair or replace your printer if needed.

      In summary, there’s zero risk in using our own-brand cartridges.

Lexmark 2581+ Printer Review

Expert review of the Lexmark 2581+ printer

Our Verdict:

The Lexmark 2581+ is a wide-format forms printer that offers high-speed performance and impressive features like character and page monitoring and multi-part form support. It prints on wide-format media up to 16.5 inches in width, and it offers three print modes, which allow users to produce documents at varying speeds. The black and white Lexmark 2581+ forms printer is suitable for workgroups in need of a reliable forms printer, though it does not offer network capabilities.

Design

Compact and well designed, the Lexmark 2581+ measures only about 25x11.4x7.7 inches, still small for a wide-format unit. It is designed with a built-in USB and parallel port, and its 9-pin dot matrix print engine can produce a maximum resolution of up to 240x144 dpi. The Lexmark 2581+ 9-pin dot-matrix printer has a front paper feeder, which accepts cut or continuous forms, and it has an installed RAM of 512 Kb. The minimum media size that the 2581+ supports is 3x3 inches, while maximum paper size for wide format printing is 16.5x22 inches.

Advantages

In addition to its wide-format printing configuration, the high-speed Lexmark 2581+ dot-matrix printer boasts impressive speeds, up to 618 characters per second using fast draft mode and up to 100 characters per second using near letter quality mode. The Lexmark forms printer 2581+ is small and efficient and it requires little maintenance, as its high yield Lexmark 2581+ ribbons do not need replacement until they expire after printing around 8 million characters.

Disadvantages

Despite being a workgroup printer, the Lexmark 2581+ printer is limited to wired single-computer connectivity, with no possibility for network configuration, making this device difficult to share.
