True innovation can’t be imitated
Good print quality is critical. After all, it’s your image at stake! By using genuine Lexmark parts, you can count on consistent, high-quality printing from first page to last. Unlike low-cost bargain brands, Lexmark parts are meticulously engineered to optimise performance, maximise your printer’s life, and deliver excellent print quality.
Rated life of the fuser maintenance kits
Average Genuine Lexmark (Red) vs. Non-Genuine Lexmark (Gray)
Lexmark Genuine Parts substantially outperform Non-Genuine Lexmark parts.
Tests show that only Lexmark Genuine Parts reach Lexmark’s high performance quality and safety standards.
By using non-Lexmark parts, tests show that there is a poor printer quality and an increased risk of printer failures due to fuser overheating.
It is important that you always consider hidden costs of Non-Genuine Lexmark parts:
- Down-time and wastage of time due to non-availability of the printer
- Costly additional service visits
- Increased administrative time
- Incremental replacement cost (if out of warranty)
- Diminished customer satisfaction
This can lead, on top of customer dissatisfaction, to reliability issues and hardware failures which means overall additional hidden costs.
Time is money, and time lost due to poor performance isn’t easily recovered. That is why Genuine Lexmark Parts are engineered to optimise printer performance and maximise printer life.
Note: Lexmark recently conducted a fuser test to compare the performance from Lexmark’s Genuine Parts versus other third party brands. The printers (T65x & X65x) were tested in a continuous print mode until fuser maintenance kit failure occurred. The fuser test was conducted in April 2012 at Lexmark laboratories at Lexmark’s headquarters in Lexington, Kentucky.

Cost versus Price
- Time is money, and time lost due to poor performance isn’t easily recovered. Genuine Lexmark Parts are engineered to optimise printer performance and maximise printer life.
