Is this the right printer for you?

Who the Lexmark X790 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...

  • You run a workgroup of 25-60 people that already standardizes on legacy Lexmark X-series MFPs and needs a like-for-like replacement.
  • You print 5,000-15,000 pages a month and want a machine rated to 150,000.
  • You scan two-sided originals daily — the 75-sheet single-pass DADF handles letter and legal at 50 ppm.
  • You need a large 10.2-inch e-Task touchscreen for kiosk-style workflows or eSF apps.
  • You're holding off on replacing a working X792 fleet — refurb units are widely available and parts are still stocked.
Works fine

You'll be happy if...

  • You print up to 20,000 pages a month — the machine handles it but the platform is from 2011 and you're paying for legacy support.
  • You need finishing — the X792 supports finisher options but they add depth and cost.
  • You're new to Lexmark — operators learn the e-Task UI quickly, but firmware feels dated next to the CX730 and CX820.
  • You want a quiet machine — 52 dB operating is louder than the newer CX-series.
Look elsewhere

Skip this if...

  • You're buying new in 2026 — this is a discontinued platform. Get a CX730 or CX820 instead for current firmware, security patches, and warranty.
  • You need 11x17 (tabloid) — letter/legal only.
  • You print under 5,000 pages a month — overbuilt; the CX625 is a better fit.
  • You need the latest Lexmark security framework — the X792 predates Wolf Pro and modern firmware-level protections.
  • You don't have a Lexmark service contract — parts and service for the X792 platform are still available but increasingly through third-party channels.
Full specifications

Every spec, no guessing

The Lexmark X790 Series (X792de) is a desktop A4 color laser MFP for workgroups of 25-60 people that need a high-speed, 50-ppm color machine with a 10.2-inch touchscreen. It holds 650 sheets standard (expandable to 2,650 with optional drawers), is rated for a 150,000-page monthly duty cycle, and runs scan-to-email, scan-to-network, FTP, and LDSS workflows out of the 75-sheet single-pass duplex ADF. Print resolution is 1200 x 1200 dpi with 4800 CQ for color, first page out is 8 seconds black and 8.5 seconds color. The X792 is a 2011-platform machine — it's been replaced in Lexmark's current lineup by the CX730 and CX820 series, but it's still widely deployed in enterprise fleets that haven't refreshed yet. The thing buyers regret: buying new in 2026. Refurb and used X792 units are common and cheap, parts are still stocked, but for new purchases the CX730 (42 ppm, 7-inch screen, 2024 firmware) or CX820 (52 ppm, modern Lexmark security) are the right calls. If you're keeping an existing X792 fleet alive, this is the right model to know.

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.

The 5-star consensus: "it just works"

Small sample size, high signal. The 1 verified reviewers picked this model to replace older inkjets or aging Lexmark machines. Common threads in the feedback:

  • ★ "The X790 prints fast and the touchscreen is intuitive enough, but I wish the toner cartridges weren't so expensive. Still does everything we need for a mid-size office though."
