Disadvantages
This printer does have some disadvantages. For example, the Lexmark C530DN does not come with a scanner or a copier. The LCD screen also does not have a back light which can make viewing difficult. Printed documents can also become unaligned due to minor flaws in the printer's paper feeding system. However, the Lexmark C530DN is a high-grade printer that may be worth these minor imperfections due to its speed and photo quality. Although you have to buy separate colours of Lexmark C530DN toner, it is available at a reduced rate on Cartridge Save.
