Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Lexmark CS720 Series is actually for

Most printer pages just tell you what a printer does. Here's the honest version: when this machine is the right choice, when it's fine, and when you should look at something else. We sell a lot of these for a reason, but the reason is not "every office."

Best fit

Pick this if...

  • Pick this if you print 5,000-15,000 color pages a month and want a dedicated print engine.
  • Pick this if your team values fast first-page-out (6 seconds) for ad-hoc jobs.
  • Pick this if you already have a separate MFP for scanning and copying.
  • Pick this if 1.2 GHz quad-core and 3 GB RAM matters for complex print jobs.
  • Pick this if Energy Star and EPEAT compliance show up in your procurement criteria.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • It's fine if your real volume is 2,500-5,000 pages — you have growth room.
  • It's fine if you print mostly black with occasional color reports.
  • It's fine if you connect via Wi-Fi or Ethernet and don't need a tablet UI.
  • It's fine if you're comfortable with Unison toner cartridges in the 3,000-7,000 page range.
  • It's fine if duplex printing is standard and that's all you need.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • Skip this if you need scan, copy, or fax — the CX725 is the MFP version.
  • Skip this if your volume is under 1,500 pages a month — overkill.
  • Skip this if you need A3 or tabloid output.
  • Skip this if you push over 25,000 pages a month — step up to the CS820.
  • Skip this if you want a large modern touchscreen with app gallery.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Lexmark CS720 Series (CS720de) is a 38 ppm color workgroup laser built for small offices that want enterprise-grade durability without paying for an A3 machine. It runs a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor with up to 3 GB RAM, hits first page out at 6 seconds black / 6.5 seconds color, and is rated for a 120,000-page monthly duty cycle (1,500-15,000 recommended). The 4.3-inch color touchscreen handles workflow and the Unison toner system delivers 3,000-7,000 pages per cartridge. Input maxes at 2,300 sheets with optional drawers. It's ENERGY STAR certified and EPEAT compliant. This is a single-function printer — no scanning, copying, or faxing — pitched as the print engine for offices that already have a dedicated MFP. The honest gotcha: at 38 ppm and a 120K duty cycle, you need to be doing 5,000+ pages a month to make the cost-per-page work. Below that, a smaller Lexmark or even a Brother monochrome saves real money. And if you want an MFP, the CX725 is the same engine with scan/copy/fax bolted on — usually a smarter buy for most small offices.

Supplies & consumables

Toner, yields, and what to actually reorder

The #1 question we get on this printer is "which toner do I buy?" Short answer: you have two cartridge options and a drum. Standard yield TN830 covers roughly 1,200 pages. High yield TN830XL covers roughly 4,500 pages and is the better value for most offices. Pick XL unless you print very little.

The drum unit (DR810) is separate and usually lasts 15,000 to 30,000 pages before it needs replacing. At a typical small office volume, expect to change it once every 2 to 4 years.

If you lease this printer through us, toner and drum are included. You never pay for supplies separately. That's usually the better deal once you add up real costs over 3 years.
